Aria Luna

Aria Luna is one of the world’s youngest exhibiting artists and a changemaker who uses the power of her art to raise public awareness of and support for issues impacting local and global communities. Her work has raised funds for such causes as art programs, ocean conservation and wildfire relief.

Bold, whimsical, and unencumbered by traditional expectations of style or technique, Aria Luna’s artistic expression runs the spectrum of color palette and media. Her works blend watercolor, acrylics and oil pastels with india inks and mixed materials; her art evokes the rich, colorful world that children see, imbued with fantasy—the impossible and dreamed made real. “I have a big imagination,” she says, “and I want to share it with the world.”
