Raybee is an internationally recognized mosaic artist and teacher. Schooled as a painter and printmaker at the Kansas City Art Institute, she moved to San Francisco where she taught Painting, Drawing, Batik, Business for Visual Artists and Mosaics at the Ft. Mason Art Center, San Francisco City College and through her studio. Mosaic has been her primary medium since 1988. After 20 years of breaking tile, she also began making some in 2000.
In
1995, Raybee moved to her Mendocino County farm and began presenting summer
Mosaic Workshops. Students come from far and wide to learn from the “mosaic
guru”. She has been a guest lecturer and visiting artist for such varied
groups as the San Francisco Open Studios, Oregon College of Art and Craft, the
Sanchez Art Center, the University of Sarawak (Malaysia), the Society of American Mosaic Artists and the City of Breckinridge, Colorado.
Ms. Raybee’s work has been widely exhibited, including the San Francisco Crafts Museum, the National Jewish Museum (D.C.), Yerba Buena Gardens (SF, CA), Museo Italiano (SF) and the Grace Hudson Museum (Ukiah, CA). Her commissions include the San Francisco Arts Commission, Laguna Honda Hospital, Eden Housing Inc., the San Geronimo Valley Cultural Center, Willits Skate Park and many private homes. Her work has appeared in virtually every Bay Area newspaper, on the cover of ARTWEEK, in a few TV spots and was published in four books of contemporary mosaics: Making Mosaics (Lark Press, 1995), Design Sourcebook: Mosaics(New Holland Press, 1998), Mosaic Now and Guide to Public Mosaics in San Francisco.
