Today we’d like to introduce you to Orá Cruz
Hi Orá, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My creative journey kicked off during the pandemic when I found inspiration in everything around me. It all started in Orlando—painting, creating custom art, murals, and diving into large market events. Everything shifted when I was gifted a camera, and I began capturing the world through my lens on everyday adventures. Since then, I’ve become obsessed with all forms of creating. Recently, I moved to Miami, where I’ve been exploring the city’s vibrant creative scene and jumping headfirst into new projects. From artwork to photography, being invited to some of the biggest events has made this journey an exciting ride!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s all about perspective! Sure, there’ve been a few obstacles along the way, but without challenges, there’s no growth. Through both art and photography, every twist has taught me something new and pushed me to evolve. I’m grateful for the journey—it’s all part of the adventure!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in both art and photography, blending creativity across different mediums to bring visions to life. Whether I’m painting custom pieces and murals around town or capturing candid moments through my camera, every project is an adventure that allows me to learn and grow. What sets me apart is my ability to move seamlessly between paintbrushes and lenses, telling stories through vibrant color and authentic snapshots.
As the Co-Founder of Draw Lab Orlando and Draw Lab Miami, I’m able to bring this creative spirit to life through our monthly artist collective classes. The magic of Draw Lab is in creating a space where artists from all walks of life can come together, feel free to express themselves, and build a strong, supportive community. I’m incredibly proud of the work I’ve created and the lasting connections I’ve made along the way, and I’m excited for the next chapter in this creative journey!
What makes you happy?
What makes me happy? Creating—anytime, anywhere! Whether I’m in my PJs crafting at home, up on a ladder painting a mural, or capturing epic moments at the biggest events, I’m in my element. But the real joy comes from sharing these experiences with the people I love most. Being able to do what I’m passionate about while surrounded by my favorite people? That’s the dream!
