Born and raised in Iran, I pursued a degree in Chemistry, but I was always painting in my free time. Painting has been my passion as well as my form of therapy enabling me to express my feelings and transfer them onto canvas. I love to create different types of textures in my paintings, and I’m typically drawn to using bright colors. I work mainly with Acrylic, and watercolors, and also enjoy creating abstract paintings used in Mixed Media. Nature itself inspires many of my paintings, landscapes help me to visualize new shapes and colors. I aim to capture light in different angles and use my imagination to give the viewer a new way to appreciate nature through my art.
One of my paintings, “The Walk, earned recognition in the March Madness 2021 project where the piece was transferred onto a mural in downtown Indianapolis. I've also had the privilege of being represented by several galleries such as Art On Main Gallery and Gifts in Carmel, Indiana, High Frequency Arts in Fishers, Indiana, and Easter Conservation Services Ltd in Indianapolis. Additionally, being juried in numerous art shows and fairs has allowed my work to be collected by art lovers in the states and beyond. Most recently, my piece titled, "Hope and Dream," was selected for acquisition by the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, a humbling acknowledgment of the power of art in healing and inspiration. Through my art, I intend to instill in my community a sense of love, excitement, and appreciation for the vibrant tapestry of nature that surrounds us.
