Zahra Haidari
Hello everyone,
My name is Zahra Haidari, and I graduated from Bard College in 2025 with a degree in Studio Arts.
My passion for art started long before I stepped onto a college campus. As a little kid, growing up in Afghanistan as the youngest of seven siblings, I would sketch whatever came to my mind and proudly share them with my siblings and friends. Thank God, their genuine laugh and giggles encouraged me to keep drawing more! :D
I am especially drawn to abstract and expressionism…my work can get full of colors, movement, and emotion. While painting and drawing will always be my first love, I have never stuck to just one medium. One day, you might find my hands and face smudged with charcoal, the next I am sculpting with clay, cooking and baking something new, or wandering around with my camera, capturing nature’s beauty and the smiles on people’s faces.
Art has always been my way of expressing, and I am just getting started! WOOHOO!!!
