Ariel Freeman

Ariel Freeman is an artist and nurse practitioner who lives and paints in northern Virginia.  My life took me in many directions, none in art.  But everywhere I looked, I would see paintings. I picked up a paintbrush in 2002 and was hooked.  As a nurse and artist, I have long appreciated the relationship between creative expression, health and well-being.  Through art we find connectedness, to ourselves and others. When we move slowly and observe, moments reveal themselves. I work primarily in watercolor and oil, and for the past few years have began the practice of "daily painting".  Not every day, but most days, as a way to maintain momentum and embrace the process of creative discovery.  arielfreemanart.com
