Mona Trad Dabaji lives and works in Beirut where she has been teaching painting since 1993.
She has exhibited in others in Lebanon, France, Jordan, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Her work revolves around the same theme: Lebanon, its traditions, its culture, the Woman at work in the fields or in her intimacy.
Through her characters, and with great humor, she managed to show with great precision the multiplicity and diversity of Lebanese culture.
