Her diverse cultural background has had a positive influence on her style as an artist .
As a young girl growing up in Afghanistan she always wanted to draw and paint.
She took basic classes in high school but mainly was self taught.

In November 2014, she was referred to her current instructor by a close friend. Then she started learning different techniques and styles.
Her subjects range from portraits of people from different cultures to landscapes and seascapes in oils and pastels. In creating her portrait paintings, she strives to convey the emotions and moods of her subjects.
