My name is Arianna, and I’m a mixed media artist who infuses stylized images of nature with color and energy. I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a fine artist and illustrator - I also use “Ar” and “Antarie” as my ‘artist pen names’. I have a BFA in graphic design from the School of Visual Arts, and I’ve created many illustrations over my professional career, in addition to designing and building many, many, many websites for a huge variety of clients in every industry imaginable, from musicians to metal fabricators to psychotherapists and more.
I’ve been drawing and painting as long as I can remember, although for the majority of my life I made my career as a web and graphic designer. For a long time I believed that, as much as I loved to paint and draw, “artist” wasn’t a possible path for me, and I needed to choose the safe path professionally. I starved myself of joy by limiting my own beliefs about what was possible for me, and not trusting the ideas and dreams that I had about the beautiful things I wanted to create.
After a spiritual awakening, I no longer see art in the same way. I now understand the most wonderful gift that we can give to others on this plane is tapping into the divine energy of creation, letting it flow through us into what we create, and sharing that gift of creation with others to uplift, encourage and inspire them.
My desire is to create high vibration objects that infuse your space with positive energy. We are here to lift each other up. I hope my artwork brings a smile to your face and shares a bit of light with your soul.
