About
Born in the United States, Reem Hussein holds a BFA in Interior Design and Objects Restoration from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has exhibited her artwork throughout the United States as well as abroad.
Having been invited to show and discuss her work in many US colleges and universities such as Yale, Columbia, NYU, Rutgers, and the University of Pennsylvania, Hussein has devoted much time to introducing Middle Eastern and Islamic art through workshops for students and teachers, as well as adult lectures sponsored by the local non-profit organizations Long Island Traditions and the Huntington Arts Council. Reem’s career and artwork were profiled in two documentaries and have been featured in articles for publications, including Newsday and the Chicago Sun-Times.
More recently, her paintings were selected by the Art in Embassies Program and exhibited in American embassies located in Egypt and Malaysia. She currently lives and works in New York City, where she is a MFA candidate.
