Art Work
My art process can be broken into four modes of creative practice. Each one blending across the other and lending techniques to build a grander cohesive vision that is uniquely Hey LaRaye. Explore each one to get a glimpse of my flow as a maker and constantly curious creative. Below you’ll find the art work blog. A space for some deep dives into techniques and to see some of my projects.
