He(ART) of Bellevue Dina Ayoub

Dina Ayoub, an accomplished Seattle artist, finds solace and inspiration in her vibrant abstract art, primarily using oil and acrylic mediums. With a background as a product manager in the tech sector, she realized her passion for creating art after years of writing a fantasy novel, which sparked her artistic journey over 14 years ago. As a self-taught artist, Ayoub has navigated her learning through YouTube tutorials and extensive practice, emphasizing the therapeutic aspects of painting for mental well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges to her art business, traditionally reliant on festivals, yet it also became a period of growth as she explored new digital art techniques on her iPad Pro. Her latest works include a women's health collection featuring texture and metallic colors, reflecting her evolving artistic style.

Ayoub's artwork will be showcased at the Bellevue Downtown Arts Market from September 4-6, where she aims to connect with the community and share the emotional benefits of art. For those interested in her creations, further details can be found on her website, Dee’s Fine Art. Through her art, Ayoub hopes to inspire a sense of peace and wonder, making her journey both personal and impactful.
