​Rayana Hill is a Richmond, Virginia-based artist whose practice explores the threshold between painting and sculpture, engaging in themes of memory,  obscurity, transformation, and unseen labor.
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 earned her BFA in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020 and MA in Art Education from the University of Florida in 2025.
She is a full-time high school art teacher in Chesterfield, Virginia.
