After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews later, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn, eventually leading me to improvisational stitching, which I teach workshops on: arianezurcher.com/workshops/
I was awarded an artist's residency in Orquevaux, France and began playing with paint on the fabric pieces I was creating, which rekindled my love of painting, abstract art and collage.
I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, sold a painting that same year and never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published numerous articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post, I have always created in some form. Art is my love and remains so to this day.
I love inspiring and encouraging others to create as well and to find their voice through whatever medium suits them. So come with me as I explore the creative process in all its varied forms, strengthening and finding my voice, while learning to strengthen and find yours as well!

    @ceebgee2520 Před dnem

    I have to say I was seriously worried when I saw the long off white piece flapping in the wind throughout this series but now I see your plan and it works beautifully. It is probably not your intention but I am thinking Loki might see it as his new snuggle place. If you find him missing on his next visit take a look inside. Lovely to see you happy and excited, you are a visual and audible treat. I live in NZ so your videos have traveled a long way.

    • @ArianeZurcher212
      @ArianeZurcher212 Před dnem

      Ha! Yes, I was always planning on cutting it down once it overlapped with the other side, but was terrified of doing anything after my dreadful trueing the edges fiasco, so left it flapping about until I was sure where it was going to go. As it was I did chop about 4" off it. Too funny though. Loki would love to snuggle up in it, but I'm not letting him anywhere near it, there are too many fun things dangling that he'd want to bite and claw at!! Isn't CZcams great - that we can converse with each other from across the world? Really incredible and wonderful. One of these days I'm going to get myself to NZ. It's on my bucket list!!
