Hi! I'm Verity Raphael (Formerly known as rave report)

I’m a multidisciplinary artist, journalist, and event host focused on creating safe spaces for free flowing self-expression. My creative practise is deeply spiritual and is constantly evolving with me as I grow. Currently, I’m focused on live painting and hosting free community art jams centred around "pleasure, not perfection".

I've been painting street art since 2020, moving between spray and acrylic paint, walls and canvas. Notable commissions include a series of custom canvases permanently installed across Siteimprove's global offices in Minneapolis, Seattle, Copenhagen, and London, my employer, where I work by day as Senior Corporate Communications Manager. I also painted a giant public mural on Whitechapel Road commissioned by Idle Form, and was commissioned to paint the factory entrance to Paul Rhoades Bakery in Greenwich.

I also have a background in music journalism. Since 2019-2025 I've documented global underground movements, from Cambodian Techno to Kenyan Drill, across digital, print, and radio, including hosting 2 of my own guest shows on Reprazent Radio. My work has been featured by DJMag, Mixmag, and Velocity Press, and I've guest-lectured on 'World Music for Political Change' at the University of Westminster.

As an active event curator, I've produced a series of sold-out community spaces, ranging from a fundraiser magazine launch to an open mic and art exhibitions. DM on Instagram for collabs and commissions.
