Kiwi and orange by Mansoureh in Windsor

I was born in Iran - land of art & culture. I started painting since the age of 10 under the guidance of a lovely art teacher, Firouzeh, in Tehran. For many years I continued practicing art on and off as a hobby; something I could never totally get detached from. During the four years studying for my BA in English literature, I also joined advanced painting classes under an experienced art master to fill in my spare time. During those days, I learnt the fundamentals of professional oil painting. My master was specially gifted and made me aware of my potentials too.
