With a unique eye for design, Ravin regularly
creates personal and commissioned “storyteller
quilts” filled with vibrant colors and bold shapes.
Ravin has been quilting professionally since 2000
after circumstances forced her to revisit a quilt
that she and Big Mama (Lueberta Hawkins, her
Grandmother) began in 1994, but were unable to
complete. Ravin soon discovered her artistic
abilities and graduated Cum Laude with a B. A. in
English and Art Education from Tougaloo College
in May of 2004. She later pursued and received
her Master’s degree in Art Education with an
emphasis in Art Therapy from Florida State
University in 2006. Later in 2022 she completed
her Masters of Arts in Biblical and Theological
Studies from Belhaven University.
As an Artist and Art Therapist, Ravin aspires to
share her skills, knowledge, and gift, of quilt
making with others. Art Therapy is a
human-helping profession that services all
populations, with mental, physical, emotional,
and psychological health issues. It is her goal to
share her experiences through quilt making to
help those that are in need, achieve holistic
health. In doing so, she will honor the tradition
that her grandmother has left with her
