Artists Statement
Raven Creature has had an interest in art for as long as she can remember, sketching in her notebooks during classes since a small child. She has some formal education in art, and two unrelated degrees, so like many artists is mostly self-taught. Her art has been shown from California where she grew up, to New Orleans where she has been a resident since 2002. Her work is as varied and as unusual as she is, ranging from fine, photograph-like pencil drawings, sculpture in clay, to photography and oil painting. Her work is especially fine and detailed when it comes to portraying people, but don't mistake this powerful, quiet woman as another portrait artist.
Creature spends her days writing fiction and her nights painting and getting ready for her next art showing. Her other interests include cooking, Japanese culture and reading. Creature's career goals include working as a full time artist and publishing her written work.
