Adriana Rangel was born in Colombia and studied textile and fashion design at the university in Bogota. After graduation, she worked in various textile companies in Bogota, and eventually moved to the US 20 years ago to pursue her career in NY. Adriana subsequently started her own successful business designing hand-woven textiles for Winter fashion including specialty silk line for Florida. She participated in presenting and selling her designs at Fine Art Festivals all over the Northeast, Chicago and Colorado. Over her time in the US, Adriana fell in love with Naples and the location ended up being an inspiration for her designs, and subsequently for her art. In time, her passion and love of art became fully focused on painting in watercolor, with an emphasis on nature and especially botanicals. Adriana is a Christian Believer and painting nature is her way to honor The Lord and His creation.
