Hi, I am Ariel.
Im h a p p y your spirit has brought you here.
I am an abstract painter based in Western North Carolina, inspired by the beauty of flowers and the natural world.
I create art for people that feel the deeper connection to our natural world. That love bright colors and flowers!
I studied art at the University of Ball State, getting my BFA in Fine Arts and minor in Art History. Which lead me to study in Italy, allowing full immersion into the studying of art.
