The art of creation is such a wonderful process to witness. Adding lines, colors, and emotions to a blank canvas produces endless possibilities for dreams to come alive.

Aarica J. Blackett is a young, budding, new artist residing in Atlanta, GA. Although she has expressed her creativity in different art forms all her life, she started painting on canvas during her senior year in college. Described as vibrant and picturesque, her artwork focuses on African-American women in various stages of life. Her gallery, entitled Art Pieces of a Dream, includes more than 50 pieces, and each art piece is crafted using an  acrylic medium, with some also including mixed media.

In addition to canvas paintings, Aarica also paints on 100% silk ties and various clothing designs.

She is also the author of the recently published book, No Longer Daddy’s Little Girl, a book that encourages young girls to strive towards being the best, regardless of their situation.

Aarica graduated from Spelman college with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and a minor in French. She is currently employed as a consultant in Atlanta, GA.
