Sona Babajanyan

Sona is an artist and illustrator from Armenia, currently living and working in Brisbane, Australia. Although she has been creating for as long as she can remember, it was quite a journey until she decided to become a full-time artist. Her other life-long interest was literature, and she started her professional career as a translator of literature from Western Armenian into Russian and later – as an editor. She tried on some other hats as well, often juggling them and trying to have as much fun as possible.

And although after moving to Australia, in 2008, she decided to focus all her attention on visual arts, she is still constantly in search of various forms of expression in which she can combine her love for drawing, painting, playing with Photoshop and literature. As a result, her art is quite versatile, she works both in traditional and digital media, in colour and black and white, always trying out new things and experimenting with new techniques. Apart from working on her personal art projects, she loves illustrating books for children and adults. Many of her works are held in private collections in Australia, Europe, Russia and the US.
