[5] Rashid held his first solo exhibition at the Dilmun Hotel, Bahrain, in 1970 when he was 18 years old, and then moved to the UK in 1972 to study at the Hastings College of Arts and Technology in Sussex.
After returning to Bahrain in 1978, inspired by Europe's greatest Impressionist masters, he began his own renditions of his country's landscapes, producing a series of atmospheric paintings of the desert, sea, and historical sites.
Rashid held a government post as the Undersecretary for Tourism and Archaeology for the Ministry of Culture, Bahrain until June 2011.
