Iris Art Group

We are two sisters from Iran, currently living and trying to study in Vienna, Austria.

We've just received our residence permits as students, but as we weren't able to work before getting the residence permits, we are almost broke, and cannot afford the university or the dormitory fees any longer.
My sister and I do calligraphy and paintings on clothes, shoes and bags, but it is really difficult for us to promote and sell our work in Europe as newcomers (esp. in Vienna, where we do not know the language well yet).
As my father is around 80 years of age and my mom is paraplegic, we cannot easily ask the family to provide us with financial support. On the other hand, if we are not able to secure our finances, we will have to return to Iran, which is undergoing a really tough era, and things are getting worse and worse for ladies.
So, turning our talent and art into a source of income is really crucial for us at this time.
I have always been supportive to Afghan girls as their voluntary English teacher, when I was in Iran. and I hope to receive the help and support that we need now from more generous hands.

Thank you for dediacting your time to read and check this message.

Best regards,
