Subtle Confusion (2022) Текстильное искусство - Raven

I grew up drawing and painting my “little masterpieces” for sale to my auntie’s trusted friend and classmate who welcomed my creativity and rewarded me handsomely for each one.  At the time I did not know that he, 'Roger Alleyne' was a cultural icon and sculptor within the Visual Arts Community. I was five. Now, looking back he was molding me, enticing me even, to become the creative individual I am today!  By the time I was a teenager there wasn’t a piece of textile I didn’t leave my mark on, with my messages of truth and thrusts of romanticism.  But as time passed on my pursuits lead me into the creative world of business, somewhat sobering. Throughout my early twenties I would later rediscover my creative attributes and pursue architectural design to become an interior designer. The walls  and textiles have been my canvas for many years and now once more, the canvas.

I am RAven of the RAven ARt & Design Studio and a national of the twin pearl isles of The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago that sit nestled in the North Atlantic Ocean in reverent beauty just off the coast of Venezuela in the vibrant Caribbean Seas.  My major is Interior Design, but I share portfolios as the Lead Designer, and Visual Design Coordinator at the studio with my business partner and husband.  Equally I am a Visual Artist and my canvas is my release my inspiration is fueled by our vast array of island wildlife, the silence, the many comforts of nature, the gleaming speckle of the stars by night and yes, by the genius talents left over by the master of the arts themselves, Jacob Isaacszoon van Swanenburg, the challenging renditions passed to us from Rembrandt's chapter, and who can resist the realism of Willem Witsen's scenic harbor portrayals that long stay adrift on our minds, to name but a few. To these greats and to so many other great talents, I accredit my love and reverence for visual art.

My voice is my own and in painting and creating I am heard.       - RAven
