Notes
Drawing came first, before any classical training. Most of the work that lives online is published to my personal Instagram — a running visual diary that swings between activism, life-model studies, and gifts for family.
Recurring threads: Women.Life.Freedom (Iranian protests and the murder of Mahsa Amini), Ahoo Daryaei's protest, Free Palestine, kendo sparring studies, and birthday cards for my mom that I draw every year.
These pieces are how I keep the line in my hand sharp — they're not commercial work but they're the foundation everything else stands on.
