The Art Rising is the creative alchemy of Angeline Chen and Kyle Block. Uniting art and activism, we are dedicated to building bridges across cultures, exploring our shared human experience, and harnessing the transformative power of art for positive social and environmental change. 
From brushstrokes on canvas to hand-carved wood, sculptures on mountains to the depths of the sea, our work traverses many realms.
