A second-generation Canadian of Lebanese descent, she holds a BFA with distinction from Concordia University (2012). Her research and painting practice looks at the legacy of historical erasure in Lebanon to examine new frameworks for diaspora experience.

With gratitude, Khoury was born and raised on the unceded land of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq Peoples (New Brunswick) and was based in Tio’tia:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal from 2006-2019.
