Kelly Rae Cunningham is a self taught painter, whose work is grounded in experimentation and exploration. She takes a process driven approach to painting  and enjoys many mediums as they lend different qualities to the process.  Her paintings employ layers of color, worked with palette knives and brushes, whimsical use of dot and line, and energetic brush strokes.  You’ll see abstraction that combines creative mark-making, and gestural application of bold colors, and always Tiffany blue. She has been painting for twenty plus years. Her work is part of private and corporate collections all over the US.  Kelly Rae is an Artist and Interior Designer who brings her love of color and pattern to everything she creates.  Her love of design and creating is endless. Kelly Rae lives in West Seattle, WA with her wife, nine year old daughter, and a darling springer spaniel named Barley.  Her Art + Design Studio is in her backyard garden studio.
“Her approach to art will dust you with permission to create anything you want, for no reason other than to make something beautiful” 
-Laura Lowery, premiere issue of the journal Lucia
