Ragini Prasad is a contemporary artist from San Francisco Bay Area, California who explores themes of femininity, beauty and spirituality. Each painting is an articulation of myth and reality of relations to nature. She specializes in acrylic paint and nib pens on canvas and paper. 

Ragini is an accredited mithila artist from National Institute of Mithila Art, Darbhanga, Bihar, India. Her paintings are influenced by techniques from this region as she paints her contemporary compositions. Ragini’s journey with art is a skill learnt through generations of artists in her family that used this technique of art. 

In her words, “I joined Gallery9 in 2021 summer. It has played a key role in my art journey as I learn through our visitors to the gallery what intrigues and fascinates them. Gallery9 has a high bar of the quality of art and it has been a special moment to visit the Gallery each month as the art refreshes. Each first Friday of the month it’s magical to stop by the gallery with live music in the downtown. I believe galleries play a key role in our lives as it brings together the community and artist giving a forum to local artists. Art is statement, like a piece of jewelry that speaks about us individually and local artists give an opportunity for everyone to make such a statement about themselves.”
