Helen Zarin
Born in Shirae, Iran in 1970, Helen Zarin can remember beginning
to paint at the early 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 organization for gifted Persian
Artists. As a student of Art and Culture, she refined her skills
in the various mediums, especially pastels and oils. Helen was
recognized 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 coming to the United States in 1993. She has
continued her education first in New York and currently in Baltimore,
Maryland where she resides.
