Rayma began to sketch with charcoal in 1983. Her first paintings were primitive, full of color and often depicted nostalgic activities. She developed her own style of painting over the years, allowing her own personal experiences, places that she has lived, people she has met and a special kinship with American history to influence the content of her artistic direction. A sense of fun, as well as light-hearted touches appear in her work.
Rayma’s paintings have been in juried exhibitions at the Toledo Museum of Art and were seen in Early American Magazine. She was chosen for the Artist’s profile in Ann Arbor Lifestyle Magazine in the 2003 spring issue. Three of her paintings were featured on Ronald McDonald House Christmas Cards in 2004. Her paintings have become part of private art collections across the United States and Europe.
Rayma is a graduate of Chelsea High School and W.A. Foote Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. She resides in Saline, Michigan.
