Khadiga Riad (Arabic: خديجة رياض; 1914–1981),[1] was an Egyptian painter, sculptor, and jewelry designer.
Riad has many variations in the spelling of her name in English, including Khadija Riyad, and Khadiga Riaz.
In the late-1930s, Riad had opened her home for a meeting location for the Art et Liberté group of artists, which included Georges Henein, Ramses Younan, Fouad Kamel, and Kamel el-Telmissany.
[1] In the mid-1960s she started designing jewelry, and made her own version of ancient Egyptian "mummy beads".
[1] In 1974, her work was shown in a group exhibition of Arab artists at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
