Artist 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 piece. 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 grew, this lead me into the world of business and throughout my early twenties I would later rediscover my creative attributes and pursue architectural design to become an interior designer. The walls have been my canvas for many years and now finally once again, the canvas.

NY Institute of Art & Design
Graduate: Interior Design

As an artist, an interior designer, and a curator of such to all things uniquely beautiful I find art in all forms and expressions, truly alive in people, in cultures, and customs. Novel to take that which is unseen and unknown and make seen, treasured, and appreciated at best. I want my paintings to leave an impression on the viewer as having glimpsed but a fracture of what I truly see while I'm creating. In that moment, I invite you to witness my story, I trust while in pursuit of your own.

I am RAven of RAven Art Studio and a national of the twin pearl isles of The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago that sit 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 Interior Designer, and Visual Design Coordinator at the studio with my business partner and husband. 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 Swan...
