Artist Registry

The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME

Ariel Oakley

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.
