Often called the lady with the spray paint, Arielle Krasner creates portraits using aerosol cans and hand-cut, multi-leveled stencils. She constructs layers of stencils, each meticulous cutting revealing the relationship between artist and subject, then sprays photorealistic, gray-scale images onto the canvas. Self-taught Krasner inherited a passion for art from her artistic family and took up spray painting after wandering the alleyways and backstreets of U.S. cities. Although devoted to her art practice, she also serves her community full-time.
