My name is Rae. I’m a Denver based mixed media paper artist. Although I have traveled and roamed, Colorful Colorado is where my roots are deeply planted. When I was a kid,I filled the hours making different types of art out of any material I could find. I completed my first oil painting in kindergarten. Art has always been my escape. It helps me take the harshness of life and transform it into beauty. In 2012, my art blossomed and grew, when I gave birth to my amazing baby boy! The next year I was hired for my first commissioned work. From there, I kept working and growing. In 2017, I was motivated to start my own art business, and have been living off of my art since 2018. I have now participated in several art exhibitions, and my art keeps growing. These days, I get most of my work through creating custom gifts. I love taking someone’s vision and chopping it into a reality. My weapon of choice is scissors. My medium is vintage papers and book pages. Being self-taught and self-made is what makes my art mine. My whole life is splattered in my art.
