Mahin Rahimzadeh

Mahin Rahimzadeh was born in Iran and studied literature and history in Tehran University. She moved in 1980 to

the United States where she continued her studies, concentrating on drawing and painting at Pierce College.

At Santa Monica College she refined her skills by studying oil painting, watercolor use, ceramics, and photography.
Her focus on photography was developed by working with Larry Shapiro. She has been featured at Baby Blue
Barbecue Restaurant and Abbot Kinney Festival. Two of her photographs are on permanent exhibition at Santa
Monica College. Currently she practices the Sufi traditions and reads the poetry of Rumi to feed her art and her soul.

She is a new member of our UUCCSM congregation.

There will be a reception for the artist on October 14 after the second service.
