Adria Arch bio

Adria Arch is a mixed media artist whose work features strong graphic elements and vivid color. She combines an abiding interest in shape with a fascination in the unpredictable or unexpected source such as found doodles or spills. Her recent efforts in site specific, collaborative murals may be viewed at Stonehill College, Lesley University's Porter Square building in Cambridge, MA and Danforth Art in Framingham, MA. Adria is also a technical consultant for GOLDEN Artist Colors.
