Visual Arts: Painting; Visual Arts: Sculpture
Born in Iran in 1984, raised within an Armenian family, I grew up in a multicultural environment. Moving back to Armenia as a teenager, I then quickly fell in love with arts in general. With the precious support from my father, I attended the prestigious Panos Terlemezyan State academy of Fine Arts of Yerevan. But I think it’s only after being represented in international exhibitions that I realize how encouraging and inspiring it is to share what you love doing the most, to express yourself.
Living abroad also helped adding layers of culture to my already complex background: first France where I met my husband, and now United States. I work from my personal studio, where I also live, in the peaceful town of North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Being a mother of three allows me today to pass on the love of arts as I’ve been taught.
