“Rava is an exemplary figure model who brings not only a professional demeanor but also a contagious energy that vitalizes every class I’ve taught with her.  She is reliable, inventive, and spontaneous in a pinch when only an agile mind and able body can find solutions for tough foreshortening exercises. She has accompanied me to beautiful LaMorra, Italy, to pose for my annual drawing workshop there multiple times because of the student’s insistent requests for her inspiration.  She works well with others and is a capable collaborator both on and off the model stand.”
