I will be closing my commissions for the year on October 20th. This will give time to focus on Holiday markets and orders. Thank you for understanding. I will open commissions back up in the new year. Probably around middle of February or beginning of March.

Such a cozy night to be working on some wood burning.

I finished this piece during one of my live painting sessions back in August. #study #livepainting #kaitiarcadiasstudio #contemporaryart #oranges

I was looking through my art from last year, I found the Distinguished Beetles. While I do plan on having prints made, I've also decided to have clothing made.

"Death Becomes Her". I spent about a year on this painting. Kinda just waiting for the pieces to fall into place. She wasn't rushed, which is why I think it took me so long to post her. I took my time to reconnect with my joy of creating. #kaitiarcadiasstudio #oilpainting #contemporaryart #macabre

In the Eve of Comfort started out as an experimental piece to explore themes of an identity built on being alone. Many people think of being alone is uncomfortable. I on the other hand see being alone as a way to truly know myself. #kaitiarcadiasstudio #digitalart #noai #procreate

Playing around with some different themes with this piece. Procreate has been kind of a place to experiment before I take an idea to canvas. I really like the idea of only using 2-3 colors for a piece. Also really enjoyed the anthropomorphic figures. #anthropomorphic #sensual #green #pink

"Technicolor Bath".
I started this piece last year but in the middle of working on it I moved. Well recently I found this piece in a pile of unfinished painting and decided to finish it. #acrylicpainting #artistsinspartanc #artistinalleghany #kaitiarcadiassstudio #surrealism #contemporary

I completed these studies about 2 months ago. Over the course of 3 day, I dedicated 20minutes to completing a small painting. Day 1 was a candle. Day 2 was candle wick trimmers. And Day 3 was a mug.
Just a fun little project that was meant to be longer. #kaitiarcadiasstudio #acrylic #womeninart
