Rae Denise bio

“I am a painter and illustrator, residing in Chicago, IL. I spent most of my career freelancing, illustrating children’s books, and producing portraits with a blend of royalty and fantasy. Recently, I have decided that I am more fulfilled and secure in working for myself full time to reach my desired goals. Now, I have more time to paint, explore, and bring my passion projects to fruition.

My artwork collectively is a collaboration between my memories, daydreams, and inspirations. I love working with Oils; it gives me the freedom to manipulate and communicate with an array of methods while bridging my love of diverse themes and styles.

My practice now solely focuses on amplifying my voice through a series of works infused with fantasy, enriched with culture, and celebrated with nature.'“
