Tanaz Assefi

---

Tanaz is a London based artist. She was born and raised in Iran. She studied Graphic Design in Tehran and moved to London to study for a Masters Degree in Illustration and Animation. She has been living and working in London for the past twenty one years.

As a practising artist Tanaz has a great passion for art and culture. In her work she has always been in search of relationships between the mysterious and symbolic worlds of ideas and allegories that happen within the realms of mythology, poetry and dreams. This has been reflected in much of her creative work so far.

Working as a freelance artist, participating in various exhibitions and leading art as therapy workshops as well as working with a PR company has granted her with good skills in communication. She is also highly passionate about mental health and particularly Post Natal Depression.

She has been working closely with MumsAid an award winning charity that support mothers and their families with their mental health well being. Tanaz runs The Art of Self Expression Group as a form of Art as Therapy. Every week mothers join Tanaz to explore their thought process and emotional life through mark making, drawing and use of colour.

She has been invited to run the workshops for various organisations.
