Delair Shaker started his journey in an environment surrounded by art, culture, and creativity. At home, Delair's mentor was his father, Saad Shaker, a pioneer in ceramic art in Iraq, who instilled in him the love of art and appreciation of beauty in all forms. He has spent five years at the Institute of Fine Arts in Baghdad learning and exploring the secrets of ceramic art. After his graduation in 1990, he participated in several art exhibitions and received an award at the Al Wasiti Art Festival held in Baghdad in 1992. Two years later, Delair moved to Jordan where he became the head of Art department at a renowned private school.

Early 2005, Delair moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he currently resides, to continue his art journey seeking originality, vitality, and innovation.  His new art experience tells a story of color using various paint mediums, pieces of broken glass, ceramic, patterned cloth, bits of lace, sand and fire to create inimitable landscapes of color on canvas and wood. Delair participated in many exhibitions in Jordan, Tunisia, and the United States.
