Marianush Shahinian is an oil painter based in Jacksonville, Florida.In 2026 she began working on the series In Bloom — Memories of Motherhood, inspired by the quiet emotional transformation that comes with becoming a mother. For this collection she chose hydrangeas — flowers that accompanied her throughout her early experience of motherhood. Through soft color palettes and expressive palette-knife textures, the paintings explore tenderness, growth, and the beauty of everyday moments.Marianush was born by the sea, and this connection to the ocean continues to influence her work. Alongside floral paintings, she is deeply drawn to painting fish in oil — a subject she has loved since the beginning of her artistic journey.
