The document describes the artist's journey as a potter over the past few decades. It started in the 1990s in Vancouver when they wanted to capture facial expressions in pottery. Their works later featured goddesses, dancers, and ethnic and cultural symbols. After 2006, most of their pieces reflected their environmental activism and featured trees, leaves, and spirits. The artist has displayed their pottery in various exhibitions in Vancouver and Lebanon, receiving recognition for their installation "La Dance" in 2010. Their recent solo exhibition in 2018 featured their "Tree Spirits" installations.

1. I started pottery in Vancouver in the
nineties, when I wanted to capture the
facial expressions of people I see in the
streets. Afterwords, my works focused on
goddesses, dancers, mermaids, ethnic
symbols, masks and tributes to artists.
After 2006, most of my works reflected my
activism in protecting trees. My pieces were
sculptures about leaves, chopped trees and
tree spirits.
In Vancouver, BC I have displayed my
pottery in several collective pottery
exhibitions.
In Lebanon, my art works have been
displayed in Salon D’autmne Du Musee
Nicolas Sursock, where the installation in
ceramics, La Dance, received Mention
Speciale du Jury in 2010.
I also participated in The Age of Ceramics
at Macam contemporary art museum (Alita,
June 2017). Several of my Tree Spirits
installations were exhibited in my solo
exhibition: Epitaph: In memory of Cut-
down Trees that was organized at the
Galerie, Ras Beirut Cultural Center (Beirut,
Aug. 2018) and at the Ground floor of
RBCC (Oct.-Dec. 2019). I was also one of
the artists of the ceramic-collective:
Ceramic Days organized at Ras Beirut
Cultural Center in April 2019 and
December 2019.

Pottery provided me with a
friendly environment that helped
me cope with my immigrant
status when I moved to Canada
early 90’s. My friends at the
pottery studio in Vancouver used
to introduce me: “this is May,
she is a potter like us”.
My installation, La Dance,
received Mention Speciale du
Jury in 2011
