Born and raised in Los Angeles, Armen procured a love for art at a young age. Growing up, he worked with different mediums and explored a variety of designs in the world of graffiti, utilizing various materials to create original abstract geometric art.

As a self-taught artist, his style evolved over the years, creating a truly authentic form of geometric abstract art. His colorful art can be seen as non-traditional and innovative, taking from his environment and utilizing a bright hued palette filled with movement. He received his Bachelor's in Psychology with a minor in Visual Public Art at California State University, Monterey Bay. Each piece not only challenges him mentally but physically.

Armen has living in Plumas County since 2022. To read more about Armen, visit plumasarts.org.

Join local artist Diane Bowman for a Mixed Media Card making workshop.

The workshop begins by making a Master Sheet of mixed media work, 9in x 12in or larger, before cutting it into 9 or more pieces to then affix to the front of blank cards.

Artists will begin their Master Sheet with collage, before adding paint, stencils, stamping, mark making, and hand drawn botanicals to create their own unique masterpiece.
