How Skin Reflects Life: Interview With Casilda Sanchez

July 28, 2014 • 1

About Ariana

Hi, I'm Ariana (pronounced Air-e-anna, like banana ;)!
I'm an artist and the founder of Skintome. I have dermatographia (aka skin writing), a condition that hyper-sensitizes the skin to touch, stress, diet, and chemicals. I've been making art inspired by my dermatographia for 14 years. And in doing so, have spread the word about the condition, how to treat it naturally, and how to see the beauty in it.
