I’m Ariana, nice to meet you!
I was born in 1997 and grew up in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. I can’t remember a time I didn’t do arts and crafts while growing up. Art helps me find joy and peace, no matter what season of life I’m in. I graduated as an art therapist and holistic therapist, which opened a door to a much deeper meaning and a bigger understanding of both myself and the world around me.
Five fun facts
Wanderlust
I feel at home wherever I experience a sense of freedom, warmth, and belonging. I’ve solo traveled the east coast of Australia for two months and lived in Colorado (US) for 1,5 years. It makes me feel alive.
Trilingual
My native language is Dutch, but with a German family and bilingual education I’m fluent in German and English too!
Spiritual
Being a Christian, spirituality to me means coming home to my true self through an enriching relationship with God. Faith helps me find comfort, peace, and hope. I’m grateful for the gifts and talents I received to serve others.
Humor
I enjoy joking around and putting a smile on someone’s face. It doesn’t always solve a situation, but it for sure eases the weight!
Highly Sensitive
Even though it can be overwhelming at times, I’m thankful to have been blessed with a rich emotional life! It definitely boosts my art inspiration.
