The WORLD IS OUR STUDIO

We make art that moves — across canvas, sculpture, land and sea.

Art that regenerates, Art that rises.

The Art Rising is the creative alchemy of Angeline Chen and Kyle Block. 
Uniting art and activism, we are dedicated to building bridges across cultures and harnessing Earth's wisdom and the power of art for positive change. 
From brushstrokes on canvas to hand-carved wood, sculptures on mountains to the depths of the sea...
