My experience and art education have helped me develop a firm foundation in the arts. In my own experience, I developed a language in the process of making art and over time, my painting has changed and transcended the sadness of politics to express beauty, richness, and hope for the future. I believe my artistic skills; teaching experience and research technique would fit well in creativity and academic education.
I earned my post-master in art and science with Dr. Mustafa Gukcek at the Niagara University NY, USA. I gained ‘The best Capstone Awarded in recognition of the most outstanding thesis in Master of Arts Studies’ in May 2018 at Niagara University NY. In 2012, I receive Postgraduate- Residency program in Florence, Italy Majoring in-studio project/ art history research from OCAD University, Canada. In 1994, I gained my Master of Fine Art at Art University, Tehran, Iran.

I have received several diplomas and workshops in sculpture, photography, silkscreen printing, computer digital painting, teaching certificate, special effect, and prosthetic T.V. from Iran and North America.
