About the sculptor: Arminee Shishmanian is a Fresnan whose family knew Mr. Saroyan and had him in their home. After being introduced to water color painting by an artist friend, she began her formal art training in 1995 when she enrolled at CSU Fresno to take classes in drawing and sculpture. This led her to enroll in workshops offered by the CSUF Summer Arts Program, the Fechin Institute in Taos and the Scottsdale Art School. She has studied with Lincoln Fox, Eugene Daub, Martine Vaugel, and Rosalind Cook. Her commissions include sculpture for the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Fresno, an ongoing award for the special education teacher of the year from the Kremen School of Education and Human Development at CSU, Fresno, a relief sculpture at St. Columba Church, Fresno, and many private commissions.

''Under the Apple Tree' resulted from a collaboration with the William Saroyan Society to create a lasting memorial to celebrate the centennial of the birth of William Saroyan. Mrs. Shishmanian was selected to design and produce this commemorative piece based on her work and her family's connection with Mr. Saroyan. The title was taken from a traditional Armenian folk song Khndzorin Tzarin Daguh.
