Mitra Mazinani

I was born in Iran, where my love for art began at a young age. As a child, I thought pencils were for drawing, before discovered that they were for writing. Creating art brought me tremendous joy and was my ultimate passion and pastime – drawing, painting and experimenting with different media to capture my artistic visions. Though I studied animal science in school and pursued a PhD, art was never encouraged as a practical career path by society or family. Yet my dedication never wavered. I actively sought out non-academic private art classes to hone my skills.
