Kelly Rae Roberts is an artist, author and possibilitarian. Her tender style of truth-telling and possibility-driven approach to life, work and art has been featured in many books and magazines, including Spirituality + Health, Where Women Create, Somerset Studios, Cloth Paper Scissors and countless more. Her artwork can be found worldwide on all kinds of uplifting home decor, gift and stationery products. Her significant online presence is a source of inspiration and truthful stories that celebrate the collective journey of our messy, complicated, yet deeply beautiful lives.

Kelly Rae attended college at Florida State University, where she decided to major in something “practical”—social work. In 1999, she met her husband, John, and they set off to begin a new life together in Portland. Kelly Rae’s heart kept tugging and pulling her towards something big, brave and new. In 2005, Kelly Rae decided to put paint onto paper and pursue a thoroughly “impractical” dream: to become an artist.

Three short years passed. Kelly Rae’s heart exploded with renewed passion and joy and her artwork spread like wildfire, reaching thousands of fans via licensed product collections and her own website. She’s the bestselling author of Taking Flight: Inspiration & Techniques to Give Your Creative Spirit Wings, author of the popular e-book series Flying Lessons: Tips & Tricks To Help Your Creative Business Soar, and the creator of the well-loved online painting ecourses Hello Soul, Hello Mixed-Media Mantras and Spirit Wings.

Kelly Rae genuinely believes that anything is possible, if you take one baby step of bravery after another.
