​Making art has always been an important part of my life. It allows me to connect to myself on a deeper level. It is a way of recording my invisible thoughts and emotions. As a child, I always thought I would be an artist when I grow up. After I graduated from high school in Iran, I emigrated to California to study fine arts. As a young female immigrant, I pursued a full-time career in engineering to secure my future.

​

During the course of over 27 years, working fulltime as an engineer and raising two kids, my artistic expression has gone through many phases. I am primarily self-taught and developed my own voice through soul searching, self-reflection, and self-discovery. I paint in acrylics and sculpt in water-based clay in figurative and contemporary styles. My sculptures are painted in mixed media after being bisque fired. I am interested in creating pieces that are contemplative and evocative.
