Shoutout SoCal features Ragland

RAINBOW – Natasha Ragland has been selected to be featured in Shoutout SoCal's online publication, recognizing artists and creatives in San Diego County and telling why they pursued a creative career.

Ragland's feature can be found at https://shoutoutsocal.com/meet-natasha-ragland-artist-pianist-music-instructor-songwriter/.

As an example of her creative process, Ragland shared how she created the paintings in the photo.

"To avoid the day to day monotony that we all feel during this shutdown, we went to the beach," Ragland said. "I photographed the shore and later had my nieces, my sister and my mom pose for the paintings at home."

She said she dressed them in white "because of its reflective quality and it represents purity, virtue, peace. I wanted to capture a carefree experience filled with sunlight as opposed to dark COVID-isolated feelings."
