- I have a new studio (!!!!) for the next few months and I couldn't be more excited!! As a result I've been painting, as well as stitching. This video is all about the process as it is unfolding for me as I continue to explore, try new things and learn. The paintings were all inspired by Louise Fletcher's Free online painting class Find Your Joy: www.louiseflet...

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 in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have 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 some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

Fabulous. So generous of your neighbor to share her space with you. Love it.
It was kind of over the top amazing. She is just a lovely, lovely human being and yes, so generous. Just incredible. I'm very, very lucky.
I think your neighbor is wonderful to let you use the studio. You have room to spread out and create. I just love the black and white with the red painting. I think it is beautiful. So good to see you feeling better and working. The original piece is fabulous.
Stay well. I look forward to your next video.
Thank you so much Karen. It's such fun being able to paint again!! And yes, my neighbor is wonderful and incredibly generous!
So great to see your "new" studio, albeit, temporary.........but s.t.i.l.l...........how great is that??? huh??? What a thrill to watch you spread out. LOVE the couched circles and other additions to La Bete. Blessings and congratulations
Thank you so much Alice. I so appreciate it.
How exciting to have space to create. Your pieces are so awesome.
Thanks so much Mickie! ❤️
So happy your feeling better!
Yes, much, much better!! Thank you.
I love your paintings. Such a luxury to be able to move from painting to la bete so easily.
Aw... thank you for the kind words regarding my paintings. Yes! It's kind of the perfect mix... ❤️
Your “Beast” is beautiful. I am so glad to see you are well.
Thank you so much Ann. I really appreciate it!
Hi Ariane how exciting having a studio to work in "the beast" is looking fabulous.
So good to know you are back on your feet after being so ill and having the studio to recover so you can create, the best medicine.
Take care 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much Sue. Yes, it really is the best medicine!!
Such talent!
Thank you so much Donna. That's such a nice message to read. I really appreciate it. ❤️
A new studio! How exciting. Will you stitch in there as well? I hope you are feeling better.
Yes, stitching, painting, creating... it's all happening there!!
So happy that you are back on track again, I mean hope you are feeling well now 💕💕
I am! I'm very grateful that I seem to be making a full recovery and of course having this studio makes all the difference in the world!
Good for you! Thanks for sharing.
❤️
Thanks for sharing.
❤️
Big like Wooow superb sharing good luck 😍👍
Thank you! ❤️
How exciting to have use of this studio...you may have a hard time going back to the 'norm' Ariane. I have been fortunate enough to have always had a room of my own (with a door) at home and my children learned very early that if the door was closed...don't poke the bear...lol. As you had said previously, NY apartments rarely offer that option. Hopefully you are feeling better--you still sound a bit fatigued. Take care and enjoy your space. BTW...I love your paintings.
Thank you so much Lynne. Yes, I already have my eye on my son's room. (He knows!). We will see, but no, I don't see how there's any going back from this... I'll have to figure something else out eventually. Thank you for the well wishes. ❤️
This is your New York artist in residence! Definitely on a roll this year for getting studio space. So happy for you to have an art space!
Yes! Isn't it wonderful?! So thrilled. ❤️
love the colors! something I learned from you is the raised cup stitch, they look like big fat french knots. they would look good on a piece the size of the "beast"
Oh wonderful. Yes, that's a fun stitch!
I'm so pleased for you Ariane to have some studio space - even temporarily - with the added bonus of being so close to home! No wasted time commuting. Good to know you're recovering now so you can fully enjoy this opportunity 🙂
Yes, definitely enjoying the space enormously! Thanks so much Jean. ❤️
I am so happy to see you are working ! YOu have been on my heart with the covid thing. The studio space is marvelous .. If I had this I would rarely be at home. Love and Cheers !
Haha! When my neighbor called me to tell me, I turned to my husband and said, "You won't be seeing much of me this summer!" ❤️
So in awe of your artistic talent. The level of excitement you have for a little more space for only a short period of time is inspiring. It reaffirms how lucky I am to have the space for my stitching. Enjoy!
Yes! Definitely grateful for this amazing space and the ability to paint AND stitch. Makes me SO happy.
Oh my! How wonderful! I am SO happy for you, and I just love your 'beast', it's utterly beautiful. Ariane, how did you do the metallic gimp? Would you mind showing how? .... PS, I am finally getting to settle next week. I am SO excited! Making sure I get even just a table and draw space for my art and crafts. It's lovely to see your work again. ... Your paintings are experimental and I was wondering how to translate your piece into stitch ... That might be fun?
The gimp bullion knot I think it's called ... I can't put gimp through my wool or cotton or noil.
I will show how I did the metallic gimp bullions. They're fun!
@@vanessaboman8143 You need to use a Size 15 milliners needle or a long darner. But it needs to be a thick shaft to pierce the fabric or you won't be able to pull the gimp through. ❤️ PS. So glad you getting settled. Wonderful!
@@ArianeZurcher212 Don't forget the pliers tool.
