About me

I am an Iranian interdisciplinary artist and instructor pursuing my MFA in Illustration at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where I also teach foundation courses in design and digital media. Trained in visual communication with a professional background in illustration and design, I have shifted my practice toward narrative painting that engages with memory, identity, and resilience. My work has been exhibited at the New Bedford Art Museum (MA),Cultural Center of Cape Cod (MA), Kit Gilbert National Juried exhibition (LA), Paninsula Art League 23rd National Fine Art Show (WA), and has received recognition from the Graphis New Talent Awards, Women Artist Awards Book and 3x3 International Illustration Magazine. Alongside my studio practice, I have led museum programs, taught at art camps, and collaborated with community arts organizations across New England. Through these experiences, I continue to search for images that carry both the weight of silence and the strength of resistance, seeking to honor resilience as a form of beauty and memory as a torch for transformation.
