My sketchbook is about finding the personal gathering point between yourself and someone a location that became more meaningful because it is where you became closer to another person; where a memory was created. Even if the physical locations are different for each individual, the gathering points are the same; it is in the space between ourselves and others where find connection.
Born in 1988, Bahraini artist, Nada Alaradi had been born into a family of a long line of artisans. Her family taught her from a young age the beauty of colors, shades, and creation. She expresses her visions though painting, sculpture and installation pieces.
