bio
Mahtab strives to fully explore her creativity, to experience the
outer limits and push the boundaries of her artistic journey. As
an artist who desires to excel in her craft, she used a variety of
mediums to express herself and achieve the right texture and
feel in her work. The canvas is her playground where she
embraces the joy of the creative process, where she delights in
happy accidents and other unplanned surprises. Her artwork represents a passion and excitement that she has cherished and nourished, and arises from the many memories of the experience
of life itself.
Mahtab Abdollahi graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in
Fine Art (1998) and completed her Masters of Arts (MA) in
Illustration from Fine Art University (2003). She studied
Graphic Design at George Brown College and graduated with
Honours in 2009.
She has participated in many group and solo exhibitions. She is
a member of NGA (the Newmarket Group of Artists) and TWS (Toronto Watercolour Society). She teaches watercolour and
mixed media/acrylic.
