Welcome! I am Carol Ann Rice Rafferty.

My art is on the bridge between fine art and craft. Thinking of ways to improve designs, experimentation to repurpose materials are my passions. Creating beauty from ashes, designing functional, aesthetically pleasing environments is imperative to me. Making my own paper, dyeing fabrics and creating my own patterns makes my art an extension of myself. Each piece is custom made, available for sale or commision work.

Enjoy looking around the site and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Come back and check my site often for new and exciting updates!
