“Creativity is my natural religion,” Mashian shares, as she describes the act of creating derives from a divine consciousness, where higher intelligence takes over and the connection with the mind and intuition unite. It is a space where one can channel the divine energy into tangible forms of expression. In this flowing state one becomes fully present and open to receive what is rightfully theirs.
Recently expanding into sculptural and three-dimensional art, she is incorporating LED light, plaster, and other materials that bring her pieces to life.

Haleh Mashian roots run deep in both Jewish and Persian culture, having been born and raised in Tehran, Iran. Despite her family being the subject of persecution due to their religious minority status, Mashian remained resilient and in 1987, she fled Iran with her brother to seek religious refuge in the United States.
Amidst the challenges of immigration and religious persecution, Mashian’s passion for a free and expressive life persevered. She feels very fortunate to be a United States citizen and to be able to pursue her passion and her authentic voice as a woman.
