Learn a little bit about Mina Aldoori, artist from Iraq. Check out her work in our marketplace and see some examples in the gallery below!

Hi everyone, my name is Mina Aldoori. I was born and raised in Iraq, I moved to the United States in 2010. Art has been part of who I am, it helped me throughout my journey of finding refuge. I have been a vendor at world refugee day since 2015 and I love meeting people from all around the world! 

A little bit about my art work; I use acrylic on canvas. I also work with mixed media, and enjoy making polymer clay jewelry.
