Helen Zarin

Born in Shirae, Iran in 1970, Helen Zarin can remember beginning to paint at the age of five. Showing talent, her influential family encouraged her to invest in her artistic endeavours. As a high school student she studied with the well known Persian artist and teacher, Saber. Later she enrolled in the Art and Culture Society, a national organisation for gifted Persian Artists. As a student of Art and Culture, she refined her skills in the various mediums, especially pastels and oils.

Helen Zarin was recognised by the Iranian Society and earned many national awards for her works. Conditions in her native country eventually compelled Helen to turn elsewhere for creative nourishment. " Hard work and talent are not enough for an artist to progress and blossom, creative freedom in the right atmosphere is essential", she remarked. In The pursuit of these artistic prerequisites, she journeyed first to Europe where she displayed her works in Vienna before going to the USA in 1993.

Helen Zarin works mainly in pastel, available in sizes 18' x 18', 9 x 16' and 16' x 24'. Please call for further details.
