Aquabun is the whimsical and colorful artwork of artist Liana Stadelmann. She has been drawing since the age of three but found her passion with watercolors about six years ago which is what kicked off her journey into art as a career. All of her life since a very young age Liana has had a huge love of fantasy - mythical creatures especially - and this is where she draws much of her inspiration. 

Liana’s style is also very influenced by old, turn of the century children’s book illustrations and would describe it as Beatrix Potter with a fantasy twist. Liana is completely self-taught with no formal education - everything she has learned is through her own practice and from watching tutorial and technique videos online! Liana’s specialty are her unique hybrid animal watercolor designs but she also loves to experiment with different mediums and organic subject matters. 

Other art forms Liana enjoys are painting whimsical landscapes with acrylic and oil on canvas, creating mythical themed handmade jewelry, and most recently embroidering! Painting and crafting is very fulfilling and relaxing to her and allows her to express her thoughts and interests in a way that has always been difficult to put into words. Her hope is that people feel a moment of joy and magic in what can be a scary and chaotic world when they view her art.
