I recently shared a photo of a bumber sticker that read, “Remember Who You Wanted To Be.” I’ve been thinking of it ever since and I had to, HAD to include these words in a new collage painting. I love the simple reminder. It feels so relevant to me with having a growing human being toddler boy in my life. So many dreams, so much joy, so much possibility held in our youth. I want to remember and keep moving forward in the direction of who I wanted to be, who I am, and who I’m becoming with each breath.
If you’d like the simple reminder as well, we’ve just put this new print in the shop 🙂
Hi, I'm Kelly Rae Roberts!
Before I picked up my first paintbrush at the age of 30, I was a medical social worker. I followed my whispers and started playing with paint and everything changed.
Now I’m a full-time artist, author and Possibilitarian, who helps women explore and nourish their creative souls.

I remember you wanting to be a cheerleader when you were little…and look! You did it! You ARE a cheerleader. You are a cheerleader for humanity… For strength and kindness… You are a cheerleader on the sidelines for those who need that extra boost to follow their dreams…You are a most wonderful world wide cheerleader for the spirit in all of us.
The world needs more cheerleaders like you, lovey.
Oh Yes! That's a good one!
Any chance you will be combining this phrase with one of your lively ladies on a canvas/print? I've been contemplating just this thing a lot lately.
This reminds me of a hilarious bumper sticker I saw the other day: "I used to be cool." It was, of course, on a minivan. Ha! I know it isn't as sentimental as your thought, but I had to share!
Love your message and love your meaningful artwork. Beautiful!
