I am Aliona Price – a self-taught artist originally from Chisinau, Moldova. Currently live in Santa Fe, Texas. After experimenting over the years with various mediums I found my passion with oil on canvas. I strive to create expressive abstract and impressionistic artwork that has an influence on the viewer’s emotions and state-of-mind in general.
Feel free to check my website gallery for new original artwork, commission orders, pet portraits, and fine art prints.
I make assemblage/found object jewelry. Each piece is one of a kind incorporating bits and pieces from nature as well as antiques and vintage finds. www.instagram.com/squirrelwithhammer
My work is inspired by the things that inspire me personally, which are many and varied. As a geoscientist, rocks and stones are almost always my main source of inspiration, especially incredibly well-cut stones from independent lapidary artists.
However, design itself is another influence on my pieces. Bringing shapes, textures, and color together in unexpected ways and the desire to bring jewelry away from the body is, currently, a major influence. In addition to the many things and ideas that inspire me, I want my jewelry to evoke quiet refinement and sophistication while being interesting and wearable. To achieve this, I use minimal styling incorporating clean lines, subtle texturing, and careful attention to finish. My work is set apart by the use of tactile design and 3D elements, like texturing flat silver then manipulating it into domes and folds. It’s comfortable and wearable, but still different enough to incite questions like “Where did you get that?”
My appreciation for color began at an early age as I watched my late father create in paint and wood as part of his many hobbies and interests. While obtaining a degree in education from Texas A&M University I realized I excelled in art – primarily sketching and painting – and went on to obtain a minor in art along with an elementary education degree. I dreamed then of focusing on art for a living but instead began a career in teaching. Fast forward a quarter century and through the blessing of a long marriage and raising three great kids I found myself in my late 40’s finally able to fulfill my dream of producing art for the enjoyment of others. I have since worked in many mediums and have for now settled upon colorful abstracts executed in resin as my primary form of expression.
I truly enjoy meeting personally with those interested in my work and hope I can help you fulfill your quest for unique andhigh-qualityy art!
I consider myself an introspective artist. I often create what I am feeling, or what I want to feel, using a variety of materials – my current favorites are old book pages and wax resist. I paint on canvas and I am also ADDICTED to making small paintings on wooden blocks with positive messages and affirmations. Â Email
