Iran-American artist Hadieh Shafie is known for her low-relief paper works made from tightly coiled strips bearing Farsi calligraphy. A blend of drawing and sculpture, Shafie’s works incorporate bright patterns echoing traditional art from the Middle East.
Her work collapses the space between, drawing, painting and sculpture and is at once process-oriented and overwhelming in its intricacy.
Shafie’s work is in the following public collections: The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Victoria and Albert Museum; Bank of America, Corporation Collection; Art in Embassies, Public Collection Dubai, UAE; The Columbus Museum, Columbus, Georgia; Sheldon Museum of Art, University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Nebraska; The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art, Winter Park, FL; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); The British Museum and The Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Shafie holds an MFA in imaging and digital arts from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

Baker Jr. Memorial Fund (2009) and Franz and Virginia Bader Fund (2011) and her work was shortlisted for the Jameel Prize (2011). She was an awardee of the 2012 Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program .
