There’s something about the sea.

Raya Sol’s artwork was born in Brighton from a love of coastal walks, sea debris, and drawing with Indian ink. In 2025 she picked up a paintbrush, and sea creatures and crustaceans began to emerge. Raya Sol’s artwork captures the delicate detail of claws and exoskeletons, outlining the beauty of gnarled and worn natural exteriors.

As her collection of original pieces–housed in handmade reclaimed timber frames–continues to grow, sea-lovers can purchase prints, tea towels, mugs and gifts online and in person.

Last year, Raya Sol joined Artists Open Houses Winter Festival at her shared studio, Corner Collective, in the heart of Brighton’s North Laine. This year, the studio rejoins Artists Open Houses in May 2026. Pop-ups–with fellow artists and makers Esther Rushton and Laura-Marie Nixey–are planned throughout the year.

While sea creatures feature prominently in Raya Sol’s art, new designs take inspiration from nature in its many forms: fungi, flora, fauna, and beyond.
