Welcome!
There’s lots to explore here.
I write about my life as an artist, including behind the scenes, new products we're making, and more!
I’m so glad you’re here.
The afterglow effect
I’ve been doing a lot of reflection. About the last 14 years of motherhood, the last 18 years as a working artist, the last 25 years with John, and really, about the last 49 years of this remarkable journey as a human being. This post is a bit of a tribute to all that...

Hello + welcome!
Hey there, I’m Kelly Rae Roberts
Before I was an artist, I was a social worker. And then at the age of 30, I started playing with paint, and everything about my life changed. Today I’m passionate about making meaningful art while helping other women explore their creativity, nourish their souls, and build thriving creative businesses.
I live in a tiny town named Sisters, Oregon with my husband John, our son True, and our two English Bulldogs, Lulu Butter Butterbean and Amelia Apple Bottoms. I deeply believe that anything is possible, one small and brave step at a time.
