about

Araya is a Thai-American illustrator based in Rhode Island, whose work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Providence Art Club, Warwick Center of the Arts, and the URI Annual Juried Student Show. She has recently graduated from University of Rhode Island with a BFA in Studio Art and minor in Classical Studies.She enjoys capturing the fleeting moments of everyday existence, and portraying them both fantastically and outlandishly. The world is full of diverse and interesting experiences, and Araya hopes to share her own unique perspective through her work.Outside of art, Araya loves all things related to history, and can go on far too long discussing Ancient Greek plays. There's always something to learn from our past.contact: [email protected]
