Remember this girl from Jurassic Park? Her performance earned her critical acclaim from all over the world and it seemed like she had a promising acting career ahead of her. Ariana Richards did act in a few more things, such as the sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, as well as Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, and Battle dogs. However, acting as a career didn't really stick.
As it turns out, Richards is multitalented and became interested in pursuing a career as a painter. She always had a passion for creating art, and it seems like this lifestyle suits her perfectly. She tends to paint landscapes and figures, and she's actually pretty good! In 2005, she won first place in the National Professional Oil Painting Competition for her piece, Lady of the Dahlias.
