About R.M. Perry ~ Animal Majik

Some artists choose art. For Rai, art was simply always there.

Her first work came at age four ~ a diorama in a box, string used as a pen, a girl and her dog standing beside a flower with the sun shining down. The instinct to make something, to capture a moment of warmth and connection, has never left her.

Art was her favorite class in elementary school. In high school she explored ceramics, drawing techniques, and the satisfying resistance of linoleum cut prints. In college she chose Chinese over drawing ~ and learned nearly 3,000 characters ~ discovering that language itself is a form of art.

age 30 she began cartooning, evolved into handmade 'zines as family history, then elaborate, illustrated year-end pages shared in the baby-time, through 1999.  Rhyming couplets took over for a few months as she started her Master's degree in 2001.

Since 2002 the elaborate color/texture/patterns began ~ bold & intricate, unmistakably hers. 

In 2012 brought the memes ~ colorful pages carrying words worth remembering, as images the visual mind recalls.

In 2025, Animal Magic was born with a clear vision: a Sacred Cow she simply had to create. More sculptures will come in good time.

In early 2026, Rai made it official ~ bringing her work into a serious online presence for the first time. The purpose is threefold: to make good artistic use of her living hours, to share her visions with those who might discover her, and to build a side hustle as a creative entrepreneur.

This shop offers her work as print-on-demand ~ art made accessible, wearable, and giftable.

Any item of hundreds can be adorned with her original images ~ and custom sets for your special events can be created to spec.

Original works are available, flat or framed. Inquire directly if you're drawn to owning a one-of-a-kind piece.

She is lucky to be alive. She is most happy in motion ~ or making something.

Her work has always found its own audience ~ those who navigate complexity with grace, who see the world through a different and often richer lens, who feel things deeply and find meaning in bold color and unexpected beauty. She spent years wondering how to find her people. She is here now, making her work visible.

Welcome to Animal Majik. You found her.
