Fatemeh Mofarrahi was born in Shiraz in 1965. She spent her childhood and adolescence in Shiraz, and was a student in one of the best schools of that city.

But during all these years she painted and drew by herself. When she finished secondary school at the age of 18, she entered an art school where she was very positively influenced by one of the masters who taught there, Mr. Atrvash. She is convinced that it was he who shaped the foundation of her later artistic works. She worked
intensively in this school for four years during which time she displayed her works in several exhibitions and contests.

From 1988 till 1990 she was the winner of the first place in Shiraz for Graphic Imaging, and occupied the second place in the entire country in the same field.

In 1990 she moved to Tehran where she began to both teach and continue to study. There she took part in many exhibitions and contests, such as the Women’s First International Exhibition, Panorama 1990, and the First Experimental Painting and Graphics Exhibition. She also passed several courses in arts, worked with outstanding artists of the day, and took a course in journalistic graphics.

Fatemeh works in all areas of painting and drawing, with all tools and in all styles and techniques. She is in love with her hometown, Shiraz, and the remains of the ancient Persepolis which is not far from this lovely city. She visited Shiraz frequently while she was in Tehran and all the time longed to return, which she finally did in 2001 and she intends to remain in Shiraz all her life.
