Cherry Garden
By Rashin Kheiriyeh
As an Iranian-American Artist who lives in East Capitol Hill in DC, Spring and Cherry Blossom season is always inspiring to create arts. The technique I used to design my sculpture "Cherry Garden" is acrylic. I have been inspired by traditional Persian art, and influenced by beautiful patterns of the Persian rugs to paint the birds and flowers in my sculpture. My idea was to blend the traditional Persian art with a Modern western graphic style.
See this sculpture at F & 8th Sts. NW.
