• Raphaella Vaisseau has been a self-supporting artist for over 27 years. Her first galleries were in Sausalito, California, but she moved to Asheville in 2019 and opened Heartful Art Gallery at #104 Riverview Station in January, 2020. Although this physical location in the River Arts District was damaged in the floods of Hurricane Helene, and much original art was lost, we are still in business online while the recovery efforts of Asheville and the RAD continue. In addition to fine art watercolor and acrylic paintings, Raphaella is a lover of words. Quotes, posters, and prints are available online as new original art is created and new opportunities for gallery space and shows become available.
