Graphic design artist Arielle Young in her first solo show at Maple Valley Creative Arts Center. Young’s dynamic rock concert posters have been on display throughout Maple Valley. Her graphics also show up on screen printed tees – as well as taking on the form of the occasional bumper sticker.

Young’s life is her art project. Aside from graphic design, Arielle, from Black Diamond, plays punk, blues, metal, traditional and acoustic music. She is also involved in philanthropy, journalism, music education and being a roller derby mascot.

She began creating concert posters for the benefit of the students at Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More Music Academy over 6 years ago when she was still in high school and hasn’t been willing to give up the job since; nor has anyone wanted her to.

An early start, an eclectic, sometimes frantic creative streak, and an obsessive love of font have combined to create some of the most eye-catching, colorful, and just flat-out cool poster and t shirt designs in the world.
