Where I shop for clothes!

How I respond to “that’s not a flattering outfit” on you.

I’m a fan of loose layers, colors, and wearing my joy. I’m not too worried if what I’m wearing is super “flattering.” I’m more concerned if what I’m wearing is aligned with my joy, with the reflection of who I am now and who I...

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.
