Helen Zarin. "Lemor". Original oil painting on canvas. Canvas Size 50 x 50 inches. Helen Zarin was born in Shirae, Iran in 1970. She was recognized early as having extraordinary talent and studied under the well known Persian artist, Saber. She later enrolled in the Art & Culture Society, a national organization for gifted Persian artists. There she was recognized by the Iranian Society as a “God Gifted Talented Artist.” Conditions in her native country eventually compelled Helen to turn elsewhere for creative nourishment. In Helen’s words “Hard work and God given talent are not enough for an artist to progress and blossom; Creative freedom in the right atmosphere is essential.” She journeyed first to Europe, where she displayed her work in Vienna. Helen has lived and worked in Baltimore, Maryland since 1993. Zarin’s work is displayed throughout the United States. **This Piece Is Gallery Framed with a modern dark gold frame and natural linen liner/fillet. Framed dimensions c. 57 x 57 Inches.
