Mahshid Farhoudi-Di Marco is an Iranian-Canadian artist whose works can be found internationally in such places as Canada, The United States, Italy, Germany, Norway, Iran and Australia.

Not just the creative process but also the "hands-on" process of art production is a continuing and fundimental part of life for her, as one completes the other.

As a visual artist she employs vigorous methods and materials drawing upon techniques from the renaissance to the present, bridging the gap of different technical and historical periods in painting. Her works explore the inner/outer positions of human figure, which are set within architectural forms. With this visual language she strives to achieve a balance between the various aspects of contemporary art making.

Mahshid was born in Kermanshah, Iran. Her art education began in Iran at the age of 14, completed in Canada through Ontario College of Art and Design and advanced in Florence, Italy with teachings of American master Charles H. Cecil.
