Ari Raena is an artistic arachnid. Similar to how a spider delicately spins an intricate web, Ari utilizes line and texture in her art to craft an image that not only tells a story but also elicits emotion from the viewer. Her work is often autobiographical and explores themes of generational trauma, the concept of death, and grief. She is currently on track to receive her BFA in studio art from Eastern Washington University in 2025.
