My name is Rania Mekewi. These of you who know me from Florida probably know that I am a teacher and a busy mom of 4. Well, that’s true and I love what I do. However, there’s another side of me that not many people know, and that’s why I started this page. If you have a few minutes, read along… I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts before I switched careers and chose the amazing field of teaching where I enjoy the never-ending gift of giving. I love teaching and I’m not planning to get away from all my little people any time soon. However, I feel something inside me is missing… is empty… I didn’t realize what it was until a few months ago when I went to an art festival. I walked around that day looking at all the artists displaying their work with pride. I felt that I was walking in my dream. I then realized, THIS IS IT! That’s what I want to do… This is the missing piece of my heart and soul… My art!!! I questioned and blamed myself “What was I doing with my life burying my art away and burying myself away from it all these years?” It’s about time to put the pieces back in place. I unburied my artwork from it’s storage and started looking at each piece of them. I took my time to feel each one. As I was doing so, tears came down my eyes… I cried… Lots of emotions came out of the storage along with my artwork. I’m back! I will start with reviving my old work, then creating new ones. I am currently selling them unframed. However, I can frame any piece upon request. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
