My passion is to CREATE meaningful art by DESIGNING personalized visual biographies. My dream is to INSPIRE you not to accept mediocrity but to fashion life with intention by celebrating every season on your journey. I firmly believe that all people have within them an epic story. My mission is to tell your story with colors instead of words, with my paintbrush instead of a pen: art that carries your story forward, a legacy for future generations.

“Working with Ari to create our painting was a very special journey where we completely felt like we were part of the experience. Ari asked all the right questions to create an idea which felt so much like us. One thing we loved the most is that while she was able to capture the highlights of our story, she definitely kept her artistic touch and individuality, which made the whole painting unique and very personal. We are very, very happy with our piece and would absolutely recommend Ari to anyone who is looking for a personalized unique masterpiece.” ~Sara Radicchi Åslund

My heart is devoted to making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. Children represent our hope for a future rooted in equality, peace, and kindness, but it’s up to us in the present to turn that hope into reality. I’m dedicated to non-profit initiatives that nurture creativity and self-love in young minds, using artistic expression as a powerful tool for transformation. Together, we can inspire the next generation to rise and build a future filled with possibility.

Born to adventure-seeking activist parents from Seattle and Barcelona, I was destined for a colorful upbringing. Argentina became my ‘Madre Patria,’ and I grew up bouncing between the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago, and São Paulo.

In Santiago, I had the incredible honor of co-founding the non-profit Overseas Missions, where I coordinated volunteer programs in children’s cancer and burn trauma wards, built communities for the visually impaired, and crafted interactive educational platforms for young abuse survivors.

My quest to create ripples of change took me to San Diego, where I managed global projects for Family Care Foundation, plunging into tsunami relief and rebuilding efforts. Years later, the call of adventure beckoned me to Puerto Rico, where I spent over a year volunteering and fell in love with the enchanting serenade of the coquí.

Now settled in Chicago, I blend my passions as a bilingual copywriter and visual artist, crafting authentic stories that inspire action and connection.
