CLAYGAL

Born in 1966 in Armenia (a republic in former Soviet Union), Naira Barseghian began painting as a teenager, influenced by an older cousin who painted as a hobby. Naira's interest in art led her to the University of Fine Arts and Theatre in Yerevan, the largest city and capital of Armenia, where she majored in industrial design. During her university years, Naira broadened her artistic range and further developed her oil and watercolor painting techniques by studying with leading Russian artists.
