Raina Spalding is from Fredericton, New Brunswick, where she still lives and works. She has been painting since her childhood and now specializes in acrylic paintings. Her pieces are inspired by everyday scenes, vintage photographs and whatever catches her eye. She focuses on the contrast, shadows and colours of scenes rather than precise details. Raina currently attends the University of New Brunswick and has recently taken part in an artist residency at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery (BAG). Raina was introduced to the Gallery as part of the Youth for Youth art exhibition put on by the BAG, which drew lots of attention to the young talent.
In Summer of 2022 Raina was part of “Gallery on Tour” a group exhibition in collaboration with the Ice House Gallery.
