Willa Arantz — Original Artworks
I’m Willa, an artist who has called Orange home since 2006, where I live with my chef husband, Shaun, and our two children, Edward and Paloma.
For many years, Shaun and I poured our creativity and energy into hospitality, running a multi-award-winning restaurant and wedding venue. When COVID brought that chapter to a close, we turned our focus to Racine Bakery, which we had established in 2012 and which has become a much-loved part of our community.
After recovering from brain cancer, I made the decision to step away from the physical demands of working in the bakery and give myself the opportunity to pursue my art career — a passion that has always been part of me and, now more than ever, feels like the right path.
Each of my original artworks is created by hand, with texture, movement and character that can only come from an original piece. I love creating work that brings personality, warmth and a sense of joy into a home.
When you purchase one of my paintings, you’re not simply choosing something for your wall. You’re supporting my journey as an artist and taking home a one-of-a-kind piece that carries a little of my story with it — while becoming part of yours.
Thank you for supporting this new chapter and allowing me to keep creating.
