Shawna Ariel Mixed Media My name is Shawna Ariel and I'm a mixed media artist, painter and duel freelance curator. In my art I explore themes of sci-fi, fantasy, and ecology. Using found or upcycled materials I use painting to transform the meanings of objects studying the placement of value inspired by relational aesthetics. In my curating I promote and create opportunities for artists to show and sell their work. Check out my art at linktr.ee/arielmixedmedia @arielmixedmedia

Portland Craft Solo Exhibition As a Mixed Media Painter based on the Vancouver mainland I have to have a deep appreciation for my home in Vancouver, BC, located on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. This environment has greatly shaped my art practice today. I am committed to making a positive impact on society by using my art as a bridge between communities and by addressing topics that deeply matter to me. Thank you to my sponsors @portland_craft for use of their space. Portland Craft has been amazing patrons for supporting local art and artists in the community. Thanks as well to Chris, aka @dj_goodspin, who made all this possible. The goal of this project is to create something new and fresh that can grow into a scene that artists can thrive in.
