Daughter of linguist, Fereydoun Motamed.[citation needed] She was born in Abadan, Iran[citation needed] and attended primary and secondary school in Tehran and graduated from University of Tehran with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Arts.[1][better source needed] She continued her postgraduate studies and once again graduated in first place from Alzahra University with a Master of Arts degree with concentration in painting.[2]
She began painting as a professional artist in 1983.[2] Starting with a figurative art style she then turned to abstract work, often depicting abstracted Persian female rug weavers and kilim weavers or humans and nature.[3] Persian miniatures have been great sources of inspiration in her latest paintings.[4] She has continued this style while in the United States with a western influence as it appears in some of her abstract figurative 2 collection.[5]
