Arenas began her professional art career by participating in various life drawing and plein air events across the US but primarily in Colorado. She was fortunate to paint alongside several outstanding artists in their fields giving her a sensibility for different techniques. Arenas primarily focuses on the medium of oil paintings on aluminum and wood panels, as well as charcoal drawings on paper. She is best known for her ability to convey stories of the human condition through the use of gesture, employing a limited palette, extensive grays, and expressive brush strokes. One of her most noteworthy projects is "The Museum Series," which began in 2016 and continues to the present. This series marks a significant breakthrough in her career, as it departs from the confines of realism and ventures into the realm of exaggerated gestures and vibrant colors. Arenas' work has been showcased in various prestigious exhibitions and have earned her a place in several private national and international art collections. She is a member of several art organizations including the American Women Artists, the American Impressionist Society and the Bold Brush Inner Circle. Notable exhibitions displaying her works include the American Women Artists National Exhibition 2023 in Charleston, South Carolina, the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art Annual National Juried Exhibition 2023 in Wausau, Wisconsin, and the American Impressionist Society National Exhibition 2022 in Boulder, Colorado, further solidifying her presence and influence within the American art community. At the core of Arenas' artistic pursuits lies an aspiration to bestow beauty and radiance upon the world through her evocative creations. Additionally, she remains steadfast in her dedication to supporting fellow artists on their creative journeys. Summing up her life's mission, Arenas ardently embraces the wisdom of Edward Bok, "Wherever your lives may be cast, make the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it."
