I am recently having my MFA thesis exhibition in painting up at the University of Arkansas Fine Arts center gallery and will have my opening on the night of 28th August from 5-8 pm. the show will be up from 25 th August till 5th September. My thesis exhibition “VEILED PRESENCE” includes 23 large panel paintings (30″x40″, 36″x48″ and 40″x53″) with the focus on the religious society and women’s life and freedom in Iran. I attached some of the photos from the show and my artist statement.
I was born and grew up in Iran and came here to get my Master in Fine Arts and will graduate in Dec with my MFA in Painting and Graphic Design (web-design). Since the very first semester of my studies here I have been granted an Assistantship and for the past 3 years I have been instructing as a 2D design instructor at U of A. Recently I have been granted the OMNI Center for peace scholarship for the fall semester.
