My name is Hawraa , I was born in Baghdad / IRAQ in 1994 . My first experiences as an artist was when i in elementary school .

My influences were animations and carton as a child  .

It was here that I realized that I wanted to pursue my career in this field.

I believe that being an artist is something that one is born to do an not learned at school, I went on to study through practical experience, learning through trial and error and self learning studying the works of some artists as my teachers.

It was here that I furthered expanded on my knowledge in portrait painting .

I work primarily in portrait painting and I currently work from my home and as an online Instructor .
