Nahida El Hage
Official Major
Painter & Event Organizer
Having grown in a typical Lebanese village, she has always been attracted to nature and its divine beauty. When she was still three-months old, an unfortunate incident happened whereby she lacked oxygen and consequently became half-disabled. The accident and consequent disability made her go through immense physical as well as emotional suffering. She find refuge in painting and artistic activities which helped her express herself freely without having to bear any criticism or hardship. During the year 1997, she started taking drawing courses in Togo, where she used to reside, and continued to attend drawing classes ever since she moved back to her home country, Lebanon, in 2002 up until 2015.
