Author and artist Kelly Rae Roberts started her career as a social worker but...

later decided to follow her heart’s passion to become an 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 pursuing art became a reality, and Kelly Rae’s work is now collected and cherished worldwide. Her unique mixed-media Wall Art and Figurines feature layered acrylics, oils, collage and ink. Watch Kelly complete one of her original designs here.

Her designs are featured in many publications and juried art festivals. Her art expresses honesty and tenderness while remaining lighthearted and colorful. She hopes it will strike a chord with others. “My hope is that my work invokes a sense of clarity and peace inside of you as you walk your own path in life, and that it inspires you to discover your own limitlessness.”

Kelly currently lives in Portland, OR with her outdoorsy husband John, their new baby boy named True, and their airplane-eared dog Bella.
