Marwa Abouzeid is an Australian-Egyptian multidisciplinary artist, entrepreneur, and mentor, weaving together a journey of creativity, community, and empowerment. Now based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, Marwa’s work celebrates the power of art to connect and uplift.

In 2018, she founded Artvision in South Australia — a vibrant space offering programs in drawing, painting, digital art, and ukulele.
