ria ray is an artist, poet, and healer whose work embodies the essence of transformation and the boundless possibilities that arise from life’s deepest challenges. her journey as a creative force was profoundly shaped by a personal tragedy that led her to turn inward in her late twenties, her life took a defining turn when her immediate family was taken from her in a tragic accident. since that moment, she has been on a journey to create and heal - her need to make sense of the tragedy propelled her to look within, to make sense of the world and understand the meaning of life.

seeking meaning and healing through art, poetry, and her spiritual practice. what began as a path to mend her own heart evolved into a mission to help others navigate their healing journeys. through her mixed-media artwork, ria channels energy, emotion, and resilience, creating pieces that not only inspire but also serve as catalysts for personal reflection and growth.

as a healer and spiritual teacher, ria’s intuitive gifts guide her in helping others reconnect with their authentic selves, offering a space where transformation can occur. her practice spans one-on-one intuitive healing sessions, group workshops, and retreats, all rooted in the belief that compassion and resilience can lead to profound self-discovery. Her art reflects this ethos — each piece is a visual poem, layered with textures and meaning, designed to stir the soul and invite viewers to embark on their journeys of self-awareness and healing.

ria’s work is a testament to the power of creativity as a healing force. whether through the brushstrokes on her canvas, the words in her poetry, or the energy she shares in her healing sessions, she invites us to embrace life fully, find beauty in imperfection, and trust that even in our most vulnerable moments, transformation — and new possibilities — are always within reach.
