About
Mana Mehrabian is an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in Tehran, Iran, and currently based in eastern Washington State. Her work explores themes of perception, identity, home, memory, and the body through the lens of the immigrant experience. She examines how images mediate these themes, offering viewers a space to contextualize the work within the larger backdrop of today’s social and political realities.
Mehrabian’s work has been exhibited at venues such as the Vestibule (Seattle, WA), Paragon Arts Gallery (Portland, OR), the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU (Pullman, WA), and Saranac Art Projects (Spokane, WA), and featured in several publications. In addition to her studio practice, she is also involved in curatorial projects. Mehrabian received her MFA from Washington State University, where she works as a lecturer.
