How it all began...
When I met a friend of old times date back of my childhood in the bus after ages and realized that she was learning Drawing and Painting in a private class.
In the works...
My major is management, holding MBA and about 15 years experience in Sales and marketing. Since I've started my art practices - about 1990 - whoever was watching my progress advised me to switch to painting as my main job because they beleived I'm a blood painter! It was not too far from my deepest wishes but I was facing some financial problem which didn't let me leave my job as my regular income source so was not able to focus on my art seriously. I gradually fell in love with painting and loved to choose it as my main career.
Now I have started serious practices to be an artist finally. I just found out that it's never late to start...
Down the road...
I'm developing my knowledge on all visual art's aspects such as composition, line, form, color, value, shape, and concept at the moment and hope to be able to start serious works soon.
About me in general...
I'm married to an Architect who is my main exhorter to work as a professional artist. We got two lovely kids.
I live in UAE right now and plan to move on Canada soon with my family, think I'll have better opportunity to improve my artistic skills in there and may I persuade a bachelor in art in Canada.

Unintentionally, I know that you're not an Arab but I'm Just trying to practice my third language I learned way back during the eighties. I should also have spoken a little Farsi since I got a couple of friends who had gone there during the time of the Shah. We were with the UNDP project in Gizan.
My best wishes for you.
