Maryam Gohar (@maryamgohar)
I am Maryam Gohar (a pseudo name I have made up of my real name โMaryamโ and my Grandmaโs โGoharโ (means gem) who was the very first unorthodox feminist I knew). I am a female artist currently residing in Iran. For many years I have been working as a children's book illustrator while having this more feminine and sensual part of my artistic-self hidden from the world. Being a woman artist in Iran and the nature of my works combined, made it harder to work in larger scales and I started with sketchbook pieces first. This enabled me to work on subjects near to my heart with less fear of exposure.
