VOICES OF ARIZONA 2005
Cristiana
Joy Wiley was born in Mexico City to a large prestigious and artistic Mexican
American family. In Mexico she experienced a magical childhood with a magnificent
family of nine very close first cousins and three siblings. Cristiana's Grandmother
is an accomplished artist who's talent, grace, wisdom and beauty influenced
Cristiana to become the artist she is today. She also lived in Miami Florida
where her parents exposed her to cabaret and dance at a very young age, and
enrolled her in the magnet art program. She relocated to Phoenix Arizona at
age 12. In high school she took a strong interest in poetry, dance, photography,
acting, art and music and began playing drums in an after school rock band.
Cristiana graduated from South Mountain High with honors in fine art and literature
and was the youngest member to be accepted into the Arizona Watercolor Association
winning first place honors. She continued her studies in fine art at the University
of Arizona in Tucson, and studied life drawing at the Arizona State University.
In Phoenix she's taken on large scale mural and commission work, modeled for
well known artists and photographers, explored acting and enjoyed musical
success. Cristiana's main focus as an artist is to capture and reveal the
human form and its unseen multi-layered beauty. “I seek to find a way to give
back what I've received, to influence, inspire, expose and reveal the beauty
of this world”. Cristiana is a rare talent on the drums and has been working
and performing as a musician for the last 10 years. She has recently left
her job in the music industry as an art director for a multi-media company
to start her own faux finishing company. Influenced by renaissance archetypes,
Cristiana is an artist who expresses herself in a variety of ways. “I have
been blessed to have strong female role models in my life, teaching me the
courage to follow my dreams and the freedom to discover them. To them I am
extremely grateful”.
Sincerely,
