Dina AZ. Salem, born in Alexandria, Egypt, is an abstract artist whose work delves into themes of healing and emotional resilience.

Her work has also appeared in notable group shows, such as "Exchange 2024" at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD, and "Artists’ Choice: Regional Juried Group Show"at Foundry Gallery in Washington, DC.
