About Me 〰️
Hello! I’m Arrie.
I am a Filipino-American artist, painter, and illustrator based in Tennessee. I enjoy drawing and painting whimsical artworks of people, characters, and environments. I’ve been creating art ever since I was in elementary school, and it has always stuck with me since then. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else other than being fully immersed in the world of art.
