Aree Gearhart has an artsy soul. She describes herself as an interior designer in her Instagram bio, but she has expressed her creativity through other mediums as well. In 2014, Gearhart worked for Issue, an L.A-based magazine covering art, film, and music. During her tenure, Gearhart covered events like art shows but also worked as an editor. When she shared a photo of Issue’s business cards on Instagram, she revealed her first name is actually Ariel. “YES THATS MY FORMAL NAME,” she wrote.
Gearhart, who is five years younger than Jack Osbourne and hails from Georgia, has also produced her own artwork. In 2016, Gearhart even had an exhibit to showcase her talent. “25 sculptures of viruses and bacteria bc they look really cool under a microscope and blown up is even better,” she captioned the Instagram post. Gearhart seemed to focus on sculptures, showing a tendency to combine art with everyday objects like vases and candle holders.
In fact, her Instagram suggests her interest in interior design may have stemmed from that. Around the same time, Gearhart was also creating functional pieces, like this beautiful honeycomb shelf. In 2018, she worked with Poketo, a home décor brand that blends art and design. “We designed the As I Am collection in the spirit of inclusion, joy, and support for the LGBTQ community,” she wrote on Instagram. As the post indicates, Gearhart is a progressive. Indeed, Gearhart voted for Bernie Sanders in 2016.
