Raina's Ravens

"Raven Night" by Raina Gentry

Got back in to town late last night, and I've been a zombie all day. So much so, that I nearly forgot about the fact that I'm trying to make a habit of these "Inspiration Wednesday" posts. Fortunately, I remembered at the 11th hour, and it didn't take very long to find something inspiring to write about...

We recently purchased a new print by Raina Gentry. It is similar to the raven shown at left, but not identical. I saw these prints for the first time when I visited Jerome last winter, and they really stuck with me. When we visited again in fall, I made sure to stop and get one.

I was pleased to find that my partner likes Gentry's work as well -- in fact, we had a hard time narrowing it down to just one print. While I'm in love with the ravens and women that she does, he's very drawn to her heads and faces. We'll definitely be buying more of her work in the future. In the meantime, I "liked" her fan page on facebook so that I can enjoy updates of her new work.
