Raga Press is owned and operated by artist,
educator and master printer, Ron Garrett and his
wife Audrey. "We had been incubating the idea of
a full time studio for many years, in which Ron's
varied artistic and musical talents could flourish.
So when we acquired a studio space earlier this
year, we knew the time had come - and 'Raga
Press' was germinated in August 2012."
The word "ra-ga" has its roots in the Sanskrit
language, and dictionary.com defines it as 'one of
the melodic formulas of Hindu music having the
melodic shape, rhythm, and ornamentation
prescribed by tradition.'
Wikipedia defines it as 'the act of colouring or
dyeing' (the mind and mood/emotions in this
context) and therefore metaphorically means 'any
feeling or passion especially love, affection,
sympathy, desire, interest, motivation, joy, or
delight.'
And we define it as 'a formation of our 2 initials
and first 2 letters of our last name - RAGA which
brings out the ultimate beauty of our lives together
- east and west, art and business.'
This site is a 'labor of love' for us, and is in its
infancy. We hope to add several exciting features
in the months to come, so check back with us
frequently. Thanks again for stopping by today
and for your interest in the fine art of printmaking.
