Another nice surprise. I got quoted in this weeks issue of Chester County Press( May 2nd, 2012) during an interview at Art On The Square In Kennett Square last week.

"I had heard about what was going on in this town from fellow artists," said Monique Kendikian-Sarkessian, an artist from Philadelphia, who sold several of her paintings at the festival. "The people I am meeting are giving my work great feedback. I'm receiving affirmation from people I do not know. That's what you want and need as an artist. When you come to a place where art is appreciated, you as an artist have a tendency to want to return there." Very nice, thank you, Richard Gaw!
Lots of ink this week!

As a big surprise this week I was mentioned in an article published in Chester County Life. The article spotlights the upcoming Art Jazz Springfest On The Mainline show . It is a lively 3 page spread about the show and several of the artists and I am described by the author as, "Monique Kendikian-Sarkessian, a prolific impressionist painter of landscapes and still life." The whole article appears on pages 38-40 of the upcoming May/June 2012 issues of Chester County Life magazine.
