​Rayana Hill is a Richmond-based artist whose practice explores the threshold between painting and sculpture, engaging in themes of memory,  obscurity, labor, and gender dynamics. ​
​
Her tactile artworks are created from a combination of drawing, painting, printing, hand-cutting, and assemblage techniques. Her labor-intensive process of hand-cutting and layering individual strips of paper is an act of obsession and persistence. ​
​
Rayana received her BFA in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020 and is earning her MAAE from the University of Florida.

She is a full-time high school art teacher in Chesterfield, Virginia.
