Corviid (a.k.a. Raven) began living and working as an artist in the Bay Area since October of 2006 after obtaining degrees in Philosophy and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. If one had to sum up her artistic style, one might call it ‘Surreal Macabre,’ although that doesn’t encapsulate it completely. Her works contain elements of anatomy, natural history, the macabre, sacred and symbolic geometry, and architecture & ornamentation. Because of a life-long interest and scholarly background in philosophy, every work is given a strong philosophical undertone.

Through her art, she touches on issues of metaphysics, death, mathematical archetypes, duality (the fact and the illusion), emotion, and our relationship as humans to other organisms, nature, and the universe. Similarly with a fascination and background in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, her work is influenced by natural forms and the illustrative styles of natural history and biology from the 18th and 19th centuries. She works in a wide variety of mediums; tending to move forward into uncharted territory, collecting mediums and techniques as she goes and combining them in novel ways in each new work. Her works include graphite, colored pencil, pen & ink, brush pen, watercolor, acrylic, and oil.
