About me!
I’m Tara Haghighi, also known as Stara Arts. I am an Iranian Illustrator and Designer based in Toronto. I am someone who always wants to challenge herself and step outside of her comfort zone. As someone who is always down to learn new skills, I pride myself on my wide knowledge of different 2D and 3D software. Beyond my knowledge of digital software, I also enjoy analogue mediums such as Gouache, Coloured Pencil and Acrylics. I am inspired by nature, architecture and my Persian heritage.
Fun facts about me!
- My name(Tara) translates to star in Farsi, which inspired the name “Stara Arts”.
- I adore cats and consider myself to be a cat person, but I learned very late in life that I am allergic to cats.
- My personal goal in life is to travel the world and explore as many cultures as I can.
