For an innovative artist like Raine, art is a unique way of seeing that derives inspiration from many sources.  "Sometimes it comes from viewing a picture, like the photograph I saw of a beautiful Emerald Moth," Riane explains.  But inspiration is also found in the subtle curve of a line or an interesting shape.  "That's the essence of creativity--I've just learned to let it take me wherever it wants to go."

Using this intuitive process, Raine creates original designs that are always ahead of the trends, a talent that has earned her international acclaim and four National Association of Limited Edition Dealers (NALED) Achievement Awards in 2001, including the coveted Artist of the Year Award.

Although Raine keeps up on the latest fashions, her designs go beyond the capriciousness of a particular season.  The glamour and drama of footwear fashion, joining imaginative details with inspired originality make Raine creations highly desirable collectibles.  Raine proves again and again that she strides ahead with designs that reflect special moments, cherished memories and fantasies for the future.
