Who

Artist. Designer. Illustrator.

Hi there! My name is Jen Aranyi (JEN uh-RAHN-ee) and I am a watercolor nature artist and graphic designer. My artwork is heavily influenced by nature and the world around us. I am drawn to bright colors and often create work with vibrant pops of color which contrast with simplified black and white line art. My work predominately features landscapes and nature scenery, and often incorporates colorful night skies dotted with stars and constellations. My art can be found on most social media platforms, and has inspired art teachers around the globe to create lessons based on my work for students as young as 5 years old.

I love being outdoors, and try to go hiking (or at least walking on a trail through the woods) just about every weekend. If I’m not drawing, painting, or off getting lost in the woods somewhere, I’m likely dancing around my living room listening to music, or singing and playing ukulele.


Background

I graduated in 2013 from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. I have a BFA in Communication Arts, which is essentially a fancy name for Illustration (Go Rams!). I currently live in Columbia, MD with my husband, Bryan.

In addition to creating art and selling it online via Etsy, I also work full-time as a senior graphic designer for a DC-based company. Having both a career in design while also running my own art business allows me to explore different areas of my creativity and bring aspects of each into the other.

If you’re interested in working together, or just want to grab some coffee and chat, send me a message and we can set something up!
