Fearless curiosity is what makes an artist!
We all are born as artists some of us always remeber, others forgot!
Everyone can access it again. The secret is to let your inner self rediscover playfullness."
Ariane Mariane is facilitating access to the artist she believes exists in all of us. She knows that most often all it needs is a safe space, gentle guidance and trust in the process. And that's what she offers also in her studio, l'ARTventureLand.
Join her in intuitive, playful artmaking to reconnect with the artist within you. Discover transformation and growth, both in your art and in your life.
With over 20 years as an independent artist, 15+ years of teaching, and her training in Gestalt therapy, she brings a unique blend of artistic and emotional guidance to her workshops.
Ariane creates intuitively, guided by the eternal questions: “What if...?” and “Why not...?”
Driven by an insatiable curiosity, she constantly explores new techniques and approaches. While she’s considered a master felter and free motion embroidery specialist, her creative universe expands far beyond.
She also works with:
Mixed media techniques
Cyanotype printing
Transfer methods
Enamel on copper
and many more
With a rich background in textile graphic design and architectural studies, Ariane brings both structure and spontaneity to every workshop—turning each session into a space for exploration, learning, and joy.
Let your inner artist play!
