I was born in Lebanon. I graduated from The American University in Beirut and moved to New York at age 21, where I first discovered my passion for art overall, and photography in particular. I attended the Parsons School of Design and later apprenticed with Vietnamese photographer Noc Nol. My photo exhibits mostly feature my favorite subjects: children, ancient monuments, and landscapes from her travels. My photographic works  on my blog http://mimokhair.wordpress.com have been used in renowned educational programs internationally-including Talking Hands Talking Feet, New York's Earth School, Something Good in the World, and the  template multicultural program. 

Since 1997, I have led summer art camps for children in Europe, the United States and the Middle East. 

I founded the acclaimed Blue Star Youth Movement to foster budding talents in art and photography for teenagers. 

I currently live in Shanghai with my husband and young daughter and exhibit my work internationally and locally in Shanghai. 

I am currently working on a project with author Mark Siegel, called "by art we live" : www.byartwelive.com that profiles young artists from around the globe.
