Ariel Shipp

Ariel Shipp has been studying and making art since she was a young child. She was trained at Lakewood High in Lakewood, CA where she graduated in 2010. Since 2010 she has been self-taught. Shipp remains engaged in the art community by going to poetry and music concerts for live painting and art shows throughout California. Shipp have shown at Juice C Juice Books and More in Carson, CA. The pieces the artists is showing represent an oppressed group of people overcoming that oppression. Her inspiration is from the poem “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” by Gil Scott Heron. Shipp’s interpretation in this is depicting moments of revolutionary acts on a television screen. The A Streetcar Named Desire screenplay is in favor of a new social order and these pieces are her interpretation of what that new order might look like.
