My name is Afsaneh and I’m from Tehran, Iran. I came to Australia by boat. There were so many reasons why I left Iran.
When I was young I was painting and then I went to study. When I arrived in Australia it became a hobby for me again. I have been painting for about 3 months.
It is really nice to be painting I always wanted to do this but I was too busy in Iran to paint. I am happy to be painting now.
