Meda Kiming Rago is currently exploring craft as a medium, thereby circumventing the tiresome debate over the divide between art and craft.  Her imagery owes much to her background in classical Chinese brush painting and her upbringing in Hawaii but includes many diverse elements that
reflect her interests in connecting contemporary life with her personal experiences.  She has lived in Pittsburgh for 20 years and feels very much at home in that city and with the cycle of the seasons. Her other commitments focus around the founding and management of a predominantly watercolor gallery in Pittsburgh's downtown Cultural District as well as other artist-supportive projects. You may contact her via email at kimingrago@hotmail.com or at 1214 West North Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15233.
