A native of Iran, Vahdat experienced displacement and religious exile as the revolution broke out in 1979 in Iran, first relocating to England and then to the U.S. Vahdat received her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

"During the years I was in school, a handful of very bright, insightful and caring educators helped me to access my potentials in art. I see teaching as my opportunity to share my experience with the next generation of artists."
