Ariana Richards is a young California painter who split her early years between acting and painting. You may remember her as "Lex," the young girl in the blockbuster Jurassic Park, but today she is concentrating on forging a career as a fine artist. Richards grew up in southern California and
on film sets around the world. She was tutored on the set, and early on received instruction from Disney artist Ken O'Connor. She went on to earn a B.S. in Fine Art and Drama from Skidmore College, and also studied at Art Center College of Design and with a number of private teachers including Ray Bustos, David Gallup and Dan Pinkham. In recent years, she has been combining her interest in landscape painting with her concern for the environment to draw attention to the decline of open spaces in the Southland.
