Noushin Nafisi
Painter
Iran

I was born on June 5, 1959 in the beautiful city of Isfahan, Iran, in a family with ten children. I was the youngest daughter. My father was a physician and a university professor. My first serious encounter with painting began in 1986 and continued till 1991, when I began to take painting lessons from artists, such as Yaghoub Amameh Pich and Rouin Pakbaz.
I have devoted my life to art. Now, I am working professionally as an artist and art teacher, giving lessons to children and young adults. Along with my works with children, I have also illustrated some books: 3 published children books and 6 books for adults. I am an active member of Association of Painters in Isfahan.
