My Name Sister Raya  and I am a folk artist . Folk art is the art of everyone. Folk art usually depicts everyday life.  It is created by a need to express creativity despite lack of formal training, education  or even public acceptance. If people choose to be an audience for the art that is wonderful but even without the audience the art would still be created.

Now my art is collected worldwide in places like New York, Los Angeles, California, New Olreans,  London England, Paris France, Austrailia, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Italy and other places too! So it just goes to prove the tiniest of faith combined with a ton of work can succeed.

 
I paint everything I see. I paints cats. I like cats a lot because theey are so aloof and mysterious. They seem to meditate instead of sleep. Cats have  very curvy bodies and this aspect of their design makes them interesting to draw and paint. However, I am more into funky cats from my imagination. I suppose you can tell this from my cat artwork. Meow kitty.

Angels are a theme in my art. What is an angel? Artists have been depicting their ideas of angels in art over many centuries. Some have wings and halos and some are babies and others are just whisps of paint. I do not know what an angel actually looks like for I have never seen one. I do think they may look like real people because the bible tells us to be kind to strangers for many are angels and we are not aware of this fact.

.

 I also am inspired by funky New Orleans! New Orleans and its great culture has always inspired me. New Orleans music and mardi gras and jazz funerals and architecture and food and I do think this sentence could just go on forever! People are different everywhere but in New Orleans even more. The creative energy there is thick. Being in New Orleans makes anyone want to have fun and let go. A trip to New Orleans is good for the soul.  Some of my favorite places there is Cafe Dumond for their excellent chickory coffee and beignets. The Christmas decorations at the Fairmont are awe inspiring. The old Rock in Bowl takes my back to the 50's with its authentic retro decor and bowling to great Motown hits.  When there is a cover charge at the RB  you have to pay to get it and no exceptions and both  Mick Jagger and Keith Richards can attest to this.
