My Story, My Mission
Inspired by my childhood memories, my Persian heritage, and the beautiful nature around me, I create art and help others to take a break from the fast-paced everyday life, and enjoy the journey of becoming an artist.
Hi,
My name is Sepi Golestani.
I am an artist and an art educator.
I graduated from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA) with a Master of Arts in Teaching.
With more than 20 years background in painting with different media especially watercolor and about 16-year experience of teaching adults' watercolor classes, I started my teaching journey at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston by teaching children’s Art studio classes and adults' watercolor courses in 2013. I also teach Visual Arts to elementary school students with Natick Public Schools, MA.
I have the privilege of working with a diverse group of the most amazing and talented students and artists. I love teaching art and working with different age groups. I believe in students' capabilities and strengths; Their ideas are unique and inspiring.
I love to explore new possibilities in art making based on our everyday life inspirations both as an individual, and as an important member of our communities.
When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my beloved family (my husband and my 15-year old son), I love to draw, paint, walk in nature, read inspirational books, listen to my favorite podcasts, do gallery visits or get inspired by other artists' works and of course be around those who always give me positive vibes .
