lives & works in Kansas City.

Raina is a 25 year old artist who mainly works with acrylic paints on canvas and wood. She has painted in a wide variety of genres for 8+ years, culminating to a unique and dynamic style.

Raina’s work focuses on the silliness and absurdity of life. She hopes her pieces can express that cuteness, color, feeling, and joy are important aspects in our lives that should be fostered. Living is strangely wonderful and hopefully her pieces showcase that.

A few of her largest inspirations are her partner, friends, family, Hayao Miyazaki, Yoshitomo Nara, and Vincent Van Gogh.
