“trust”“Faith is the assent of the mind and a consent of the heart, consisting mainly of belief and trust” – E.T. Hiscox
so true. i forget sometimes that my mind and my heart actually do work together. they aren’t opposing forces, but really compasses leading the way.
Sending much love,

Before I picked up my first paintbrush at the age of 30, I was a medical social worker. I followed my creative whispers, and today I’m an artist & Possibilitarian. I’m passionate about creating meaningful art and experiences that awaken and inspire our spirits.

My prints landed in the UK today and they are beautiful.
I will be visiting your Etsy shop again very soon.
Just found your blog and my nine year old artist in training adores you.
Happy Tuesday xxx
Fabulous pieces Kelly, I love the additional detail you’re getting into your backgrounds and clothing fabrics,. Your messages they convey are very poignant
Very lovely expressions. Looks like you are creating a haven of peace in your art to in response to your surroundings. Even negative experiences can turn into positives in your art.
There is harmony in both of these pieces as all your collage and paint elements melt together into beauty.
your work is getting stronger, i believe (not that it wasn’t strong before) but you seem to be really fortifying yourself with these peaceful works. the faces seem – i don’t know, i’m no expert – more at peace? knowing? accepting? maybe it is just that i am knowing YOU more…and following your journey along with you. i love that you can take hard times in your life and work them into your art – i always seem to curl up into a ball of insecurity and confusion when i get scared, sad, hurt. you are strong and very much on your path…xx
kellyrae – these are beautiful. but then they always are. i needed to see these today. there is
young lad here whose is fighting
cancer, now he is simply trying to
pass peacefully. and i is tearing me apart as a mom. but you simple
paintings with the strong message -made me smile. you seem to do that everyday. so thanks.
happy monday chickie
That should say “Judy”, not “Jusy”. Oops!
I love the spirit these convey. Jusy has it right-luminosity!
Just a small question, are the letters painted on, or applied? I can’t tell from here…
Kelly Rae, you are one resilient, toward the light leaning woman. Good for you. (sending love and light your way)
