Helga Ohannesian
At an early age, I knew my calling was that of an artist. In school, my teachers would call me “Helga the dreamer”; I would rather look at the interplay of light and shadow under the trees than play with the other children during recess. Interior design attracted me, but post-war Germany would not allow females into a then male-dominated field, leaving me to become a dental assistant. In 1962 I immigrated to the United States and settled in California. Immediately I started to attend art workshops and classes. Over the years, I have studied with many artists, including Ralph Hasenbein, Ruth Basler-Burr and Margot Lennartz.
My home
garden became my “artistic expressions”. In my minds-eye, I was “seeing” and painting – shades of different colors in a field, greens in a park, reflections on water, the flow of a steam or the vastness of the sky.
When the time was right the easel was set up again and my career as a painter took off. My subject: nature; its serenity, beauty, spirituality and mysticism. My style: a cross between realism and impressionism. My medium: oil paint. I have exhibited my work in numerous shows.
I do not paint to make statements about societal ills or my most inner feelings about life. I paint the beauty I see around me and hope each work speaks to the viewer without the need for a lesson-plan or manual, and make the viewer smile.

Snowy Blue Jay
By Marion Buricatu
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary:
I have been asked numerous times by my loyal customers to create more holiday winter cards of my paintings. As I was looking outside my window in this month of March, the snowy scenes in front of me were an ideal inspiration for me. And to make things even better for my creative juices, Paris had just been covered a few weeks before by a couple inches of snow. This happens very rarely and the whole city was paralysed. Parisians were unhappy, as always, but Paris under the snow is magnificent. I asked my good parisian friend to share with me the pictures she took of Paris under the snow. Between the winter view from my window and my friend’s pictures, I had enough material to immerse myself into this project. In 3 weeks, I created 8 paintings and I had the best time of my life!!! I wish I could do that all the time. I painted holiday lights, ornaments, some snow, and I even had an american cardinal in snowy Paris!!! I felt right at home between my 2 countries: France and the US! What wintery scenes or holiday scenes do you find magnificent?
