If the first impression of my painting brings you joy and beauty in any way, then I know I have done my job as an artist!

Although my career has ranged from engineering to technical writing and to real estate, my interest and connection to aesthetics, drawing, and painting has always been there. About five years ago, I decided to pursue my love of painting by creating an art program based on what was important to me both in terms of painting skills and artistic growth.

So far, I’ve barely scratched the surface of Goethe’s Color Theory, Steiner’s Language of Color, and Monet’s Color Perception.

I have studied watercolor veil, oil, and pastel paintings. Learning from Master Painters such as Lescek Forzcek painting watercolor veils based on Steiner’s color movement for three years, Susan Sarback oil painting based on what she has learned from Monet’s student Henry Hensche, and Irene Lester pastel painting at the School of Light and Color using Monet’s approach to painting.

My Persian traditional background has been an artistic resource for me to create a work of art for you! Note that my paintings are signed in my Persian name Taraneh (Ta.ra’.ne) and not my nickname Tina.
