Daughter of linguist, Fereydoun Motamed.

Starting with a figurative art style she then turned to abstract work, often depicting abstracted Persian female rug weavers and kilim weavers or humans and nature. Persian miniatures have been great sources of inspiration in her latest paintings. She has continued this style while in the United States with a western influence as it appears in some of her abstract figurative 2 collection. She has taught as an associate professor  in Art at Shariaty Technical College in Tehran from 2008 until 2021. Noreen is currently active in producing paintings and artwork in the abstract-figurative realm.
