Like many people today, Maryam has a fond love of the visual arts. She says...
This
is probably a result of my growing up in Tehran, Iran where I was
surround by a beautiful and vibrant culture. When I came to Canada, I
decided to pick up a hobby to pass the time while raising my two kids. I
had always been interested in stained glass. After a bit of research
and a lot of support from my husband I gave it a shot, slowly teaching
myself the techniques. After a couple of years I did the same with
mosaic art. The rest as they say, is rock and roll history....
Today I have turned what started off as a hobby into a business.
Aside from my studio work, I teach stained glass and mosaics courses for
the town of Richmond Hill. I also run a series of elementary school
mosaics programs called "Mosaic Club".
