Artist on Fire
Impact. It’s pieces like this, not overly complicated but with an intensity of color and dynamic patterning that add definite and strong movement to the work, that really define the word eye-catching. But that isn’t even the most impactful thing about this piece.
The artist Adriana Allen has suffered from debilitating arthritis since childhood. But it has never stopped her. “Every item I create is a victory over an unforgiving disease … when it hit, it hit hard. I never gave into it. Every piece I create reminds me of this fact … the disease cannot stop me from doing what I love.”
Such courage and from it, such beauty.

Beautiful piece of work. I too have arthritis, have had hip replacement and got arthritis in my knee and back. My hands are also bad and they are testing me for rhumatoid arthritis. Like you say i will not be stopped from my painting or polymer clay jewellery even if i end up in agony. I will have a look for more of your work . Best wishes xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Just fabulous! Incredible work.
Inspiring!
Just saw this in my feed. Really nice work.
Wonderful work. I find when I’m creating I don’t notice the pain as much and the working of my fingers helps to keep them more limber than they would be without.
Keep on Keeping on!
