Welcome to Artkiarab! Thank you for finding your way to my site. 

Just a little bit about Kiara....

Kiara is a up and coming visual artist from Columbus, OH. She was influenced by many other artist and her grandfather who helped shape her creative ability at a young age. She began fueling her dream to become a full-time artist in September 2018. She creates customs and original artwork. She considers herself a fine artist who ignites visions, popping pigments and a whole lot of melanin.

Kiara has taken the time out to nurture her craft by expanding to paint parties, murals and face painting. She plans to spread her art internationally. Her goal is not only to inspire others through canvas but to express her admiration for melanin.
