About Me
I grew up in Abadan, Iran during the 60s. Abadan, was one of the most liberal cities in Iran which offered a modern western lifestyle in a land of history and tradition. This exposure to both East and West provided me with great appreciation and enjoyment for art, culture, history, and through my mother’s influence, in poetry of Iran as well as the art and culture of the West.
In the past 30 years, I have worked as a marketing and advertising professional for large companies but I have also pursued my true passion and life-long desire to create art, support and represent artists and local art organizations , and produced over a dozen art shows. I’ve also taught workshops at schools and have been a repeat speaker talking about the history of Persian art at several annual events. Currently, I am a member of the Auxiliary of the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco where we produce the Museum’s largest fundraiser Bouquet to the Arts.
