In addition to mixed media installations addressing issues of homelessness and
social isolation, Canadian born artist Rita Rayman uses photographs and a fusion
of practices to create mixed-media images on paper, canvas, wood and stone.
Rita’s work develops organically, with no preconception of the final image. Yet her
pieces are cerebral compositions; a vocabulary of actions and concepts- a language
of symbols as metaphors for history, experience and memory. Her current solo show,
 "Resurrection Seeds", explores notions of transience and transcendence.

Rita has been practicing her art since graduating from The Toronto School of Art
in 2000. She has been part of numerous juried, group and solo exhibitions and
her work is in both private and corporate collections. Rita has worked as a Visiting
 Artist in public and private schools, as well as in Out Of The Cold programs and
 Homeless Shelters For Youth. Her work has been an integral part of a variety of
special projects for charitable endeavors and peace initiatives and has appeared
in both film and television.

 Rita believes that there is no such thing as ‘just looking’. Witnessing is never
objective or passive. Humans are, by nature, perceptual animals and there are
always deeply involved intellectual, emotional and spiritual forces driving people’s
thoughts. Rita’s work in “Resurrection Seeds” continues her exploration of transience,
transcendence and new beginnings.
