From Gardens to Galleries: How Monique Sarkeesian's Art Transforms Spaces and Lives

What happens when creative expression meets spiritual purpose? This episode of The Good Neighbor Podcast takes a refreshing artistic turn as we welcome Monique Sarkessian, a professional artist whose vibrant works have been transforming spaces across Delaware County and the Philadelphia region for over five decades.

Unlike our typical home service or retail business guests, Monique represents a different kind of neighborhood treasure – as one who creates beauty that feeds the soul. Her expressive style, often compared to Van Gogh and Monet, captures the splendor of local gardens and natural scenes with a distinctive use of color that immediately draws viewers in. But what truly separates Monique's work is something you can't quite put your finger on – a quality that brings unexpected peace and healing to the spaces where her art lives.

From her studio in Malvern, PA, Monique works across an impressive range of mediums that span art history itself. Traditional oil paintings share space with sculptural ceramics, encaustic wax pieces (an ancient technique dating back to Greece and Rome) and contemporary alcohol inks. Each creation reflects her belief that art should "breathe life into rooms" – a philosophy that resonates deeply with her collectors, who often describe profound emotional responses to her work. Listen as Good Neighbor Podcast Host  Bob Blaisse interviews Monique Sarkessian, whose artistry is based on her love for God and her desire to bring God's goodness into people's homes, revealing Monique's spiritual foundation that infuses each piece with its distinctive atmosphere. Listening to this episode will have you re-discovering the transformative power of original art and why Monique's creations have found their way into homes and businesses throughout the Philadelphia region. 

Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply curious about adding beauty to your surroundings, the conversation in this episode of the Good Neighbor Podcast might just change how you think about the spaces where you live and work, thanks to artist Monique Sarkessian.
