Behnaz Sohrabian

Born and educated in Thehran, Iran, Behnaz Sohrabian discovered her love of art, freedom and creative expression as a small child, developed a passion for painting and began her professional art career at the age of 10. Behnaz has earned a B.S. in Applied Chemistry, a B.A. in Painting and a Master of Arts in Art Studies. After completing her Master's Degree, she immigrated to the United States in 2010 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2017. 

"My aim is to paint simply. Apply easy brush strokes. Emphasize light and shadow and the dynamics between the subject and background."
