Born in the spring of 1952--Robyn
G. Raggio was the youngest addition to the nest of generations of
Raggio artists. She excelled in art in school, winning a Bank of America
Scholarship and a full tuition scholarship to Chapman College, Orange,
CA.
After falling in love with Northern California, Robyn transferred
to California State University, Hayward graduating in 1973 with a
Bachelors Degree in Photography and Technical Illustration and minoring
in English and Creative Writing. Armed with this "artistic affirmation",
she worked in Broadcasting for twenty years, starting at KRON in San
Francisco and then on to the LA market, working for KTTV, KHJ, and
finally finding a long-term home in the graphics dept. of KCET, PBS.
There, she learned the MAC computer and all its wonders and has been
working in that platform ever since--13 years now. Ms. Raggio became
a member of IATSE, local 816, The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
and the Broadcast Designers Association. While at KCET she won a 1st
place National Design Award by PBS for a Graphics piece and several
nominations in the following years.
After moving to Ventura County when she became a Mom, Robyn and her
husband started their own businesses and Robyn once again took up
with her first love...the camera. She hasn't set it down since! She
is currently freelancing--always taking the time to challenge herself
and present her
clients
with the best possible images. She adds new and wonderful images to
her
stock photos often with the many "opportunities for visual intent"
provided
by the glories of Ventura County's Gold Coast and occasional trips
to
the Northern California Coast. Robyn continually looks forward to
spreading
her wings and reaching artistic heights yet unchallenged and
uncharted.
