Learn MoreAria creates vibrant, tactile masterpieces that leap off the page. She is a true mixed-media artist! She doesn’t just draw, she builds life into every piece ❤️ From detailed sketches of everyday objects to 3D structures—like her baby lamb cutout using shredded cotton balls for wool. Her work shows a unique eye for texture and depth. Resourceful and focused, she uses everything from markers to found materials to turn her vivid imagination into art you can feel.
Who or what inspires Aria to create?Aria is inspired by the world exactly as she sees it. Her art is often a heartfelt gift, sometimes filled with "I love you Mommy" notes and drawings of her family together. She is motivated by her mom and dad who are also creatives, but Aria would say she has always been a "famous art worker" since she was just an infant, when she first picked up a paintbrush 🎨. For Aria, art isn't just a hobby, it’s a lifelong passion that grows stronger the older she gets.
What is Aria's favorite art form?While she loves almost every medium, her "favorite-favorite" is construction and upcycling. She is a master with scissors, stickers, and tape, often repurposing cardboard boxes into elaborate sculptures. She even has a signature move of using Band-Aids to add character to her pieces! She loves the physical process of building something from anything and refuses to let any potential art material go to waste ☺️
