Since 1977 till 2001 I taught at the Lebanese American University (LAU) in Beirut. I have participated in many national and international collectives and solo exhibitions. And I had many publications; one of them is “THE ART OF COLLAGE HAIBAT BALAA BAWAB”. I have also won The National Bank first prize for designing new Lebanese currency, in 1982. Another one of my publications is a book entitled "Beyond the Medium I". This book is an overview of students work in the Arts and Design Department at AUST.
