PROFESSIONAL VISUAL STORYTELLING AND PREVIS SERVICES

Old soul, Artist, Historian, Filmmaker, Writer. Arreah Bihary is a twenty-two-year-old creator based in the Pacific Northwest. 

  

From a young age she has expressed an avid interest in working in visual storytelling and has been learning and applying her skills and experiences to her creative work in the world of storytelling—be it for film or the written word. Growing up face painting professionally and providing other artistically inclined event services with her family and their company ContoursFX gave her an early respect for professionalism and communication. 

 

Arreah is a student at Western Washington University studying History, Theater, and Creative Writing intent on honing her skills and broadening her scope of creative storytelling. With a BFA in Filmmaking, interviews with best-selling authors, and hands on experience in the film industry, she understands how to navigate professional artistic spaces and complex topics with grace. By collaborating with other writers, artists, and filmmakers in helping visualize their projects throughout the early phases of production and preproduction she has become an incredibly effective artist with a strong understanding of story, tone, and character. 

 

In the time outside of space and work, Arreah works on relevant personal projects including comic book illustration and involvement in her local theater scene. Her assembled writing works explore fantastical yet familiar worlds with relatable outsiders in the historical fantasy genre. She creates fantastical stories with a love for exploring the human condition, and the desire to share with others a balanced, nuanced understanding and appreciation for the world and the people in it. 

 

She will be an Artist in Residence with Centrum in Port Townsend Washington to work on a book of short stories exploring the lives of fictional people of various backgrounds living in America throughout its history. 

 

Arreah Bihary operates somewhere between reality and fantasy. And that is where she is the most comfortable in her creation. Her goal is to bring a little magic to the real, and a little grounding to the whimsical.
