“Anytime there is a forward motion in art, it is using the technology of its time.”
Born in 1936 in Jerusalem, Samia Halaby left Palestine with her parents in 1948, arriving in the USA in 1951. After a BA in Design at the University of Cincinnati (1959), she studied art and painting, at the Michigan State University in East Lansing (graduating in 1960), and then at the Indiana University in Bloomington (graduating in 1963). Throughout her career, she held various teaching positions from 1962 onwards, and was part of the faculty at Indiana University, the University of Hawaii, Kansas City Art Institute, the University of Michigan, The Cooper Union, and the University of South Florida among others. She introduced undergraduate studio art program to art departments throughout the Midwest and was the first full-time female associate professor at the Yale University School of Art between 1973 and 1982.
