FAQs

Where am I from?

I was born and primarily raised in Yerevan, Armenia and have spent the majority of my life here. I am the daughter of an American of Italian and Dutch descent and an Armenian, who has descended from a long generation of survivors. My parents are both very passionate and knowledgable when it comes to music, art and literature, and I owe my love of all of those things to them, along with all the influences that their backgrounds each bring into play.

Who are my influences?

Will be getting to this question shortly!

What is my preferred means of self-expression?

Poetry/literature, believe it or not, is my first love. I love playing with words and translating the visual into prose. It’s good practice, a good way of knowing and training myself to determine what to emphasize.

I like to view my writing as being more for myself than anyone else. It’s more of a “let me do this for myself to better understand myself and the things around me” than a “let me do this as a way to publicly and openly relate to the world” type of thing.

I have a place where I dump a lot of my writing! Nothing fancy, but I’ll drop it here just in case anyone is interested!

Who are some of the people who inspire me?

Will be getting to this question shortly and updating you guys on some of the artists and people (some that I know personally and some that I don’t) who are constantly inspiring me!

What are my goals as a creative?

My goal is to try my hand at as many things as possible. The possibilities are endless, hence why I feel the need to do as close to everything as I can. The key for now is to start somewhere.

Some of my goals for the upcoming year include finishing a full illustrated children’s book, creating artwork for musicians, getting better at creating animation, getting into ceramics and finding new ways in which my work can interact with and fit into the world.

Got any questions for me?

Feel free to ask them, and I’ll be sure to answer them on here!

Where have I studied/am I studying?

I graduated from Ayb high school in 2019 and am currently taking a year off from pursuing a degree in Illustration at Parsons School of Design (graduating class of 2023) and am based in Yerevan, Armenia for the time being.
