From her early years she knew she wanted to be an artist. Anara has been deaf from childhood and so chose to listen to her heart as she painted the world around her. Her works are full of light and colours that merge into inimitable combinations. From when she was a toddler, Anara was interested in drawing. At the age of three she began to doodle on walls, paper and any pieces of wood she found. When she was seven her mother took her to an art school where she painted her first colourful picture. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EAnara has never heard the sounds of the world but God gave her the talent to see the world in all its beauty and share it with everyone.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEDUCATION\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E 2012-2014 The
