About

Studio Member since 2016

b.1995

Raina Carter develops narrative themes in her works that revolve around female-centric pop music and Japanese culture. The influence of anime is evidenced in the interplay of geometry, fantasy and character-driven artwork.

“My dream is to go to Tokyo, Japan. I want to be a Tokyo artist someday. Like Final Fanstasy artists Yoshitaka Amano and Arina Tanemura. I’m in love with Japan. I have to draw pictures of Tokyo and Shibuya, and Sanrio Puroland. ”

Carter invests a high degree of planning into her paintings as she explores concepts through sketching and research. She works with drive and focus, but this intensity is offset with vibrant colors bursting from the light-hearted paintings she zealously creates.

“Mariah Carey Tokyo Dome. She arrived in Japan to see her Japanese fans. She went to Tokyo. She wears a beautiful black dress. I want to paint Mariah Carey Daydream 25 anniversary. concert tour in Tokyo Dome. I painted twice Mina. She was a Japanese American. She was born March 24, 1997. I love the Japanese Culture Center.”
