I’m Ava Mashinchian Moradi, a multidisciplinary artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts. My practice spans music and sound (vocals), sculpture, installation, video, performance, painting/drawing, and creative writing—always rooted in energetic experimentation and meaningful storytelling. I’m also experienced in arts-based education and working with children, from movement coaching to supporting art classes for autistic learners. I enjoy collaboration, bilingual communication (English and Persian), and creating community-focused projects that help others feel inspired, confident, and connected through art.
