Elianna Radin, the 20-year-old daughter of Alex and Sara Radin, has been interested in creating art ever since she can remember. Being surrounded by art and art experiences has given her opportunities to grow a love for the arts as well as to grow in her own technical abilities from a very young age. She participated in her first art show (at the age of 4) with her father, Alex, in 2008 called “Through the Eyes of A Child” in which her crayon and colored pencil drawings were the inspiration for 100 oil paintings by him.
She debuted her paintings with a series called “Shining” at Artist on Fire’s 2012 Piccolo Spoleto show “Night & Day: The Sun Always Rises” and continued painting, showcasing her series "Undiscovered Wonders" in Artist on Fire’s 2013 Piccolo Spoleto show "Sweet!". These paintings were also featured as part of a group show at the Wilkes Art Gallery in North Wilkesboro, NC in 2014. In more recent years she has displayed her work in other various venues such as Artfields Jr. and received one of 3 regional awards for the first-ever Artfields Jr. traveling exhibition in her hometown (The Charleston, South Carolina area.) After graduating high school she started her own clothing brand, Inspire Joy, which specializes in unique, creative, and inspirational T-Shirts. She has continued to paint as well as create art digitally which has led her to illustrate children's books.
Elianna also enjoys creating music and is a member of several bands. She has been writing and singing songs since she was little. Her project "The Trilogy" from the end of 2022 was one of her first experiments at producing her own music and she released her first self-made album on August 3rd, 2023. She has continued her journey of producing, releasing a new single with her brother and band Riverspark in December 2024, and has several new music projects in the works!
One of her main missions with her artwork, whether that be through paintings, T-shirt designs, music, or another project is to create things that are meaningful and bring joy and inspiration to others.
