Arlette Stella

Arlette Stella is a late-blooming, self-taught artist. With no prior exposure or education in art or artists, Arlette Stella simply draws on her boundless imagination and the world around her to generate artwork with a message.

“For me, to paint is to breathe, to exist. I have a purpose. I am an artist!” declares Arlette, surprised and bemused. “As a young person, my art form was poetry. For decades that part of me was dormant. Suddenly and happily the artist in me has emerged and I must answer her call.”

Arlette’s deeply philosophical and innately abstract nature is evident in every piece that she creates. Her work is typically in acrylic on canvas or gesso board and sometimes she enjoys working with pastels.

“Each piece is created to encourage, inspire, and maybe even nudge the viewer to consider kindness to respond to their world.”

Thus, Arlette Stella rightfully terms her art: Abstract/Fanciful Message Art.
