A World Within
In a world of constant movement and stress I spent 7 months working endlessly on my first book "A World Within" not only to heal myself but the world through my art.
A lesson about growing through mental anxiety.
Reminding us about the connection shared with our ancestors.
A reminder to be present and live in the moment.
Beautiful symbolisms around healing.
The backstory behind the book
Hello, I'm Ariana
In a state of panic, I left my nice cushy american job living in Hawaii as a graphic designer, and moved to Portugal alone to find myself and slow down.
It was a story that was birthed in 2020 in a time where everyone had a feeling of hopelessness.
Finally in 2025 I took the time to write and illustrate this book.
A World Within
To celebrate the launch of my very first children’s book, A World Within, I wanted to create a range of preorder options. My goal is for this story to reach as many hands and hearts as possible, no matter your budget while also offering a few extra-special, limited edition bundles for those who want a true collector’s piece. Each tier was crafted with love, so you can choose the one that feels just right for you
