Author and artist started her career as a social worker but later decided to follow her hert's passion to become and artist. After ignoring a yearning for art most of her life, Kelly Rae finally put paint onto paper, and she discovered a whole new world. Her dream of pursing art became a reality, and Kelly Rae's work is now collected and cherished worldwide. Her unique look of layered mixed-media includes acrylics, oils, collage and ink, and her designs are featured in many publications and juried art festivals. Her art expresses honesty and tenderness while remaining lighthearted and colorful, and she hopes it will strike a chord with others. "My hope is that my work invokes a sense of clarity and peace within you as you walk your own path in life, and that it inspires you discover your own limitlessness."
Having spent most of her life in the company of women, her pieces grow out of the kindred support she has felt from many of them throughout her life. She is unendingly grateful for the spirits of these women who walk with her, in flesh or in paint, on her incredible journey into art, love and life.
