Blessings from my readers
I love Nouneh’s books. I think the illustrations are super detailed describing the story perfectly for children over 3 years old. It is so nice to see such delicate artworks and efforts put into the writing. These books needs to be in every creative child’s book store for sure.
Dragon Nessy is a my grandaughter’s favorite book. Such a lovely story for young children. My almost 6 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it. The coloured illustrations are simply the best I have ever seen.
Art History
Fruition Through Complexity
by Nouneh Sarkissian
‘I see my life as an artist, as having gone through three main experiences. The first is simplicity, the time of purity. The next is a time of confusion caused from the ordeal of the search for truth. The last is mastering extreme complexity. The last is fruition.’

Black and White & Something Else
Bordering on the verges of conceptual, representational and psychological pictorial approaches, Nouneh’s artistic process is wholly automatic and unhindered by intention or any conventional aesthetic. Rather, her method offers meaning in its honest and candid approach to expression and composition.
