Oh That's A Unique Title!

About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Having moved at least 17 times during my lifetime, I finally decided to stay put after coming to Dubai 7 years ago! I live, work, enjoy and have a great life here. People around me? Well loads of amazing people with amazing skills and personalities from all over the world and of course, my AMAZING LIFE PARTNER and SOUL MATE, my cat Pashmaloo (which incidentally means furry in Persian......which brings me to) Yes, I was born in Sweden, but I am half Swedish as my Dad is from Iran. My greatest passion? ART - in any shape or form. Has always had a very big influence and impact on me and I think will only influence me more and more. Art is infinite.
