In the studio

Some ideas need
a different surface.

Paint, plaster, timber, something found and kept. I like the point where a material suggests a direction I hadn’t planned.

Each piece leaves room for the viewer’s own associations, and for meaning to deepen with time.

I’m Aranie, an artist and maker based in the Greater Toronto Area. PadukaArts brings together my work with materials and my developing practice in short film.

A little about me

Short films

The lives
we share.

Short films about people, the lives they share, and the places they care for.

Beloved companions of all shapes, sizes and species. A family’s story. A garden, a craft or a business nurtured over years. Conversation and close observation, shaped through image, sound and rhythm.
