Muralist and Acrylic Artist, New England and Travelling

Walls and canvases, one brushload at a time.

I paint large-scale murals for homes and businesses, and custom acrylic paintings for people who want that same feeling of hand-made art but in a relatively smaller size.

Aruba & her work

I'm Aruba, a mural artist who studied wildlife ecology and environmental science for about seven years before diving into art and making murals and paintings her career. With roots in South Asia, you'll see my art and stories shaped by my culture.

Murals are the main thing I do: full walls, interior, exterior, planned around the room or the building they live in.

Alongside that, I paint acrylics on canvas for various types of artwork that tell a story of their own origin — something you can hang on your wall that showcases your personality.

For work-in-progress versions of my art, and more about the life that inspires it, follow me on Instagram and Facebook.
