Zahra Nazari was born and raised in Iran and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Art & Architecture, Tabriz, Iran in July 2007. She moved to the United States in 2011 to pursue her master studies in fine arts and establish her career as an artist. Currently she lives in New Paltz, NY, where she is an MFA student in Painting/Drawing. She also teaches printmaking and acts as lecture coordinator for the art department at State University of New York, New Paltz, NY.
While residing in Iran, Nazari was highly influenced by her visits to the ruins of ancient historical sites. Nazari’s move to America brought about a series of paintings that contain metaphors for the unsettled sensations formed when living in a dissimilar culture.
