About

How d'you do, I'm Rags (he/him), Ragadaisy for long. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in December 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art. My major concentration was drawing and I double-minored in French and creative writing. I have many interests--most of them falling into the broad category of anthropology. Art, literature, history, religion, language, psychology, you name it. I'm also interested in astronomy, biology, and earth sciences. Basically the world is big and wonderful and I love (almost) everything in it.

In my artistic practice, I explore the forms of plants, animals, patterns, and geometry in my attempts to understand myself and the world around me. I am inspired by the art of the ancient world, particularly Greek, Egyptian, Japanese, and Central American and the movements, such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco, hat were inpired by them. In my craft, I am concerned with ordinary objects: the decorative and delightful toys, games, jewelry, accessories, linens, and other everyday items that fill our lives. These are the expressions of the joy of living and I am honored to take part in these traditions.
