The work of Ariella Israel is the kind of art that births pride. I found myself scrolling through her Instagram face clad with a smile that continued to grow wider. Her depiction of black people reminded me of home and family. This is a real gift. The work of Israel doesn't just live on canvas, she also creates amazing Afrocentric works on denim jackets, puzzles and backpacks, even phone covers. She is a true talent, and I cannot wait to see what she does next.
