My first novel, Alley of Scented Roses, has been completely revised and will soon be republished as The Scent of Past and Petals.

I began Painting in 1972, inspired by the book Lust for Life about the renowned Vincent Van Gogh. This initial curiosity ignited a passion for oil paint, leading to numerous unfinished yet promising artworks. However, due to personal and family circumstances, I took twenty years to fully immerse myself in the world of painting.

In 1992, while living in Miami, Florida, I made a bold and courageous decision. Despite holding a bachelor’s degree in management, a certificate in Internal Auditing, and two decades of work experience, I chose to follow my heart and pursue visual arts. This was a testament to my unwavering belief in the power of art and my own creative potential.

To continue my artistic education, I studied visual arts at the esteemed University of South Australia in Adelaide. Fuelled by my newfound knowledge and passion, I wholeheartedly dedicated myself to an art practice that reached some global recognition. My works have been exhibited in Australia, Iran, the USA, Germany, China, and Taiwan. I also contributed to creating large murals in Australia, Cambodia, and China.

In 2014, tragedy struck when my daughter passed away. She had been working on her third book, Margaret Thatcher School of Beauty. This devastating loss halted my artistic activities, and I began a new journey in creative writing.
