Originally from Iran, Khonsari moved to London in 1977 and works from her studio in Wandsworth.

Abandoning a career in banking at the start of the new millennium, she decided to take up painting full time and has since dedicated her time entirely to the pursuit of art and creativity.

Inspired by the textual qualities of the landscape and sky, Khonsari uses different strokes and the layering colours in an emotive fashion to capture the transparency, depth and the mood of a place.
