Inspired by Abstract Expressionism, Khoury's art features gestural brushstrokes and a spontaneous impression. She incorporates elements of Arabic writing to add charm without explicit text, emphasizing the language's curves and lines. Khoury uses vivid fluorescent colors, dark tones, and various marks for high-contrast compositions. Sand from Qatar's beaches adds a unique texture to the canvas.
Working with pastels, spray paint, and acrylics, she scrapes and reworks the paint while recalling Arabic words and phrases. These paintings evoke emotions and memories, connecting to the Arab world she grew up in.
Born in Ohio to Lebanese emigrants, Khoury holds a BA in Fine Arts from Beirut. She returned to the US in 2013, currently residing in Qatar. Her art has been showcased in exhibitions across Beirut, Dubai, Italy, and the USA. Her highly regarded paintings have been collected by notable celebrities such as Jesse McCartney and Kelly Clarkson. Her paintings have also been featured in group and solo shows in Beirut, Dubai, Italy, and the USA.
