Raised in Seattle by Egyptian first-generation immigrants, he was immersed in arabesque design from an early age, developing a deep appreciation for geometric patterns when drawing faces was discouraged. Mesmerized by the way stained glass transforms light and atmosphere, Khaled crafts intricate pieces that blend tradition with bold modernism. Beyond his art, he is a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in neurodiversity and cognitive health, bringing a unique perspective on perception and aesthetics to his creations. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/53a819f0-c4ac-11f0-99e0-53dea6c953a2-rimg-w580-h740-dcb9ad8d-gmir.jpg About our Instructor – Lisanne EngVisual Philosphy Studio artist, Lisanne Eng, has long been attracted to glass for its eye-candy like vibrancy.
