I was always a artist at heart and painted on canvas since childhood but etsy happened with jewelry selling----It all started when I went through few books on handmade jewelry in the causeway bay public library. I hated reading but my husband and daughter loved books, so i had to go to accompany them. Since I loved creating stuff, thats the only section of the library that would interest me.

The etsy shop>>> from Reefs to ArtbyRaf's
Came across etsy in a search engine and I just listed a few of my jewelry pieces under the shop name reefs.Was in Hong Kong at that time in 2005, later moved to India in 2008, my baby was still young and I lost touch .Then with a little coaxing from a few friends and family I started painting again and here we go i am back on etsy with a new shop name ArtbyRafs.
