Ratka is a very talented and creative woman. Here, she poses with a couple of her commissioned pieces.

  To the left, an art project for the City of Oakland, CA. - a birdbath in steel. To the right, a corporate sign for Neomorphic, the company that broke the human genome code.

  One of the original co-collaborators that helped start up The Crucible, a sculpture school in Berkeley, CA, Ratka now does all the PR for the school and has her own studio there.

  Her specialties: welded, torch cut, assemblage of found metals, painted, and life inspired metal sculptures predominantly designed for gardens.

  Ratka likes the juxtaposition of nature and sculpture.
