Bio

Twiggy Shmeissany Twiggy is a landscape and waterscape painter, and an owner of an art concept. Born in the green land of Lebanon and coming from a family of artists, Twiggy showed love for art at 12 years old. In 2002, she graduated from the American University of Beirut with a BA in Business Administration and a minor in Psychology. She started her career in Dubai and by 2009 she was the Training & Development Manager of one of the biggest conglomerates in Qatar. Soon Twiggy's love for art caught up with her and she quit her job and went back to studying online for a MA in Fine Arts at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco. In 2016, Twiggy opened an art space that gathered artists and art lovers of all ages and branches of art. Fast forward four years later, Twiggy is currently practicing her art and running her mobile art concept, based in Qatar. Throughout these last years of painting and experimentation, Twiggy found her voice in art with nature being her main motivator and inspiration. Recently, she has been infatuated by water in nature. Fascinated by the mind, and by its ability to connect emotions, imagination and what it perceives as reality, Twiggy started looking for ways that we can reinvent ourselves. It is during these current turbulent times of the pandemic that her observations of people and nature led her to \"discover\" water. Hence started an ongoing project of oil paintings depicting the unique properties of water, and the need for us to become like water. Twiggy is currently working on transforming these works into digital formats that can fill the walls of our virtual worlds.
