I was born on September 18, the beautiful and colourful season of autumn, in the capital of Iran, the large and crowded city of Tehran. I was the third child in the family and fortunately I had three other sisters. I spent my childhood with my artist family with my grandparents and paternal family, in a villa, with a large yard in Tehran. We came to Karaj because of my father's work and I grew up in Karaj. Although I loved art, I did not go to the conservatory and studied in the field of experimental sciences. But I was never satisfied with my field and I did not want to continue my studies in this field at all. Before entering the university, I learned to play the Daf (Traditional Iranian instrument) and at the university, I studied the music of Iranian instruments, and I also learned to play the Setar and piano. I proudly lived with a kind father and artist who made beautiful metal sculptures and a loving mother who was a carpet weaver and artist sisters who were a painter and a writer and became more interested in art every moment. Due to my strong interest in art and creativity, I started painting and worked with my dear sister, Leila Bahari, who has a bachelor's degree in Painting and learned from her ceiling painting, Vitrail glass painting, embossing with materials, as well as patina, sculpted made of Papier-Mache, painting and engraving on copper. My Sisters helped me a lot in working with Acrylic and Ecoline and i managed to hold an exhibition, I also participated in several international exhibitions in Karaj and Tehran. Painting gave me a very good feeling because I could share my inner feelings with others. Sharing my inspirations gave me the right to be unique, and I think it was and is very valuable and beautiful, because I feel the more creative and unique I am, the more i can fulfilling my mission in life and I will get closer to this Universe, and painting has fortunately given me this gift. Although I enjoyed music and painting, I became interested in writing. By writing, I experienced a new sense of selflessness because it was as if someone in me was saying and I just listened to her words inside me and I just wrote and the repetition of this pleasure got to the point where I managed to publish my books.My sister Mahboubeh Bahari took on the task of illustrating my books. "I am the queen", "happy birthday" , "black and white" and "The best creation" are the names of my books published in Iran. Fortunately, "The best creation" became the first animated book in Iran. Until I became eager to learn German and English, and finally emigrated to Austria, the beautiful and clam city of Vienna, to follow a dream and to study sculpture at the University of Vienna.
