Kelly Rae Roberts is an established author and artist. She grew up in rural North Florida where she
quickly experienced the joy and complexity of life in her small hometown. Like
her mother and sister, she turned to creative outlets as a way to express her
experience of life. She attended college at Florida State University and
majored in social work. She began her career as a social worker but later
decided to follow her heart’s true passion to become an artist. At the age of 30, after a lifetime ignoring
her dream to become an artist, her dream became a reality. Her 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 art festivals. Her paintings especially
resonate with me in a deep way because they make me feel at peace with the moment; it
is tender, heartfelt, honest and passionate.
She is a prime example of never giving up on your dreams, letting your
heart guide you along in your life journey, and that anything is possible. Simply put, do what makes you happy and the
rest will follow.
Below are some examples of Kelly's art:
“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 Rae Roberts
