Hello Everyone! I know it has been a while and I promise you the new site is coming soon. I have been so busy making art work and working on school projects that it has been hard for me to blog with all the time I have been having to spending on graphic design. I am sure you can understand :) I thought it would be fun to take a break from the computer and worked on a painting for an art show that I will be participating in this Saturday. The theme for the show is Loteria, the Mexican bingo game. There will be over 52 other Santa Barbara artists doing the other cards and I chose to do "El Nopal" or the cactus, commonly known in Mexico as "tunas." The piece is 16" X 20" hope you enjoy the pics and I really hope you can make it by Muddy Waters on Saturday.

If you have time, please make sure to go check out my piece in person at the DissMiss'D Connections Show on Helena Street :) The photo doesn't do Ariel justice!
Thanks again to Andi Garcia for inviting me and curating the show. Please go check out her blog here.

ADAM MARS
I am extremely delighted to present to you my first project as a model/ muse. My dear friend Adam Mars from Laguna Beach, CA painted this amazing representation of my profile. Mars has obtained his Masters in Fine Arts from Otis College of Art and Design and displayed his work in numerous shows across the State of California. His style is pristine, refined, tastefully futuristic and nothing like anything you have ever seen. Adam is destine for greatness and has already achieved souring heights for being so young when it comes to the art world and his masterpieces. In a world where your eyes are trained to watch plasma TV's, 3-D movies, and crystal clear images, Adam's Art is on another level and is quite pleasing to the eye... and it is all hand done. I hope you enjoy the photos, but they are nothing like the real thing. XOX

I love the way the piece came out! My skin looks elegant, and as Adam would describe, I am pale as a vampire! Which, if you know me, you know that I don't mind that at all..... quite flattering if you ask me. And my lips are my favorite part of the whole thing.
