Exhibiting "Lover's Farewell" in "Let it Go" show at Naperville Fine Art Gallery. Acrylic on canvas by Ariana Poe 🎨 "We can't feel afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better."

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." - Audrey Hepburn

"There was a magic about the sea. People were drawn to it. People wanted to love by it, swim in it, play in it, look at it. It was a living thing that was as unpredictable as a great stage actor: it could be calm and welcoming, opening its arms to embrace it's audience one moment, but then could explode with its stormy tempers, flinging people around, wanting them out, attacking coastlines, breaking down islands. It had a playful side too, as it enjoyed the crowd, tossed the children about, knocked lilos over, tipped over windsurfers, occasionally gave sailors helping hands; all done with a secret little chuckle" - Cecelia Ahern

VIKARI STUDIO Christmas Market Art Fundraiser "The Magic of the Five Senses" Hosted at One Loft, Toronto

Our passion for art is equally matched by our desire to make a difference! In 2016 Ari had the great honor to spend some memorable moments teaching art and putting smiles on little ones faces when she volunteered at the low income Ararca School in Cartagena, Colombia. She gave the children art classes at the school library, which was created by Arriba las Manos & continues to operate thanks to the dedicated founders of that non-profit. The little ones loved being creative and discovering the magic of art 😊

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it!! Make your mistakes, next year and forever." - Neil Gaiman

Happy New Year from VIKARI STUDIO!!! We're excited to create magic and enjoy more adventures with you in 2017!!
