Introducing Oil Painter & Mural Artist: Stina Aleah

My Journey From Late-Blooming Artist to High- End Mural Artist

Welcome to my very first blog post on StinaAleah.com! Before I dive into all the wild ideas, creative adventures, and the many epiphanies that have shaped my artistic journey, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Stina Aleah, a professional artist specializing in high-end, large-scale oil paintings and community-driven murals for schools, universities, corporations, private clients, businesses, and more!

Finding My Passion Later in Life

Unlike many artists who discovered their talent early, my love for art came as a surprise just before I graduated high school. I wasn't that naturally gifted at first. I started out creating simple pieces from recycled materials and clay. But the joy of creating something out of nothing lit a spark in me that never faded.

There's a bigger story here, one that involves a life-changing injury that led me to an art room and transformed my future. But that's a tale for another post, where I'll dive deeper into how that pivotal moment shaped my path.

Building a Career in High-End Art and Murals

Over the years, I've been incredibly blessed to work with renowned organizations like Marvel, the NBA, Bleacher Report, Complex, the Cleveland Guardians, the Cavaliers, and most recently, a commission for Evan Mobley. My art isn't just about aesthetics; it's about bringing communities together, advocating for mental health, and using creativity as a platform for important conversations.

What to Expect from This Blog

In this blog, I want to share my journey, my growth, and the lessons I've learned along the way. You'll get to see inside my mind and understand what drives me as an artist and advocate. Whether it's the behind-the-scenes of a mural project, reflections on how art can heal, or tips for fellow creatives, I hope to connect with you on a deeper level.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I can't wait to share more of my world with you!
