Ariana Page Russell

Artist

Ariana Page Russell is a photographer and visual artist. Russell has a skin condition called dermatographia, in which even light scratches on the skin show up as short-lasting welts. She can painlessly draw on her skin, and photographs it. Using temporary tattoos made from photographs of her flushing skin, she transforms her vulnerability into war paint.

Russell graduated from the University of Washington with a MFA in Photography in 2005 and has exhibited her work with Magnan Projects, New York, and Platform Gallery, Seattle. She has exhibited at Some Space Gallery, SOIL Gallery, and 4Culture Gallery in Seattle.
