While my skin does not show the sensitivity that it feels, it is something that has become a part of my daily life. -Liz Jackson We all have sensitivities in one form or another, some are quite visible (like dermatographia), some are hidden (like autoimmune disorder symptoms).

Hi! I'm Ariana- artist, artist coach, and the founder of Skintome. I have dermatographia (also known as 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 13 years. And in doing so, have spread the word about the condition, how to treat it naturally, and how to see the beauty in what could otherwise be perceived as a weakness.

In addition to writing about dermatographia and skin health, I also coach artists on ways to get their work into the world and make powerful art. Because creativity and self-expression are part of a healthy life. It's all about letting your true self be known!
