Ariel Oakley is an artist living and working in Los Angeles, California. Her paintings explore the boundaries of self and non-self, external and internal, life and generative decay.
She asks: what if the body is the soul?
She spends her days as a nurse in surgery at Keck Hospital of USC, where her passion for open-heart surgery continues to inform her art.
She received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is currently completing her MFA in Studio Art at Maryland Institute College of Art.
