Kelly Rae Roberts' career is a testament to the transformative power of creativity—not just for herself, but for countless others. She began her professional journey as a social worker, dedicating years to helping people navigate life’s challenges. Yet, at 30, a deep restlessness in her heart sparked an unexpected pivot: she picked up a paintbrush, and everything changed.
What began as playful experimentation with paint, stencils, and texture soon became a lifeline of healing and unburdened joy. Kelly Rae poured her heart into her art, and by 2006, her creative portfolio had blossomed into something extraordinary. She launched her shop, published a book, and saw her work licensed on a global scale. From home décor stores to gift shops worldwide, her art resonated deeply, spreading messages of hope and inspiration.
Kelly Rae’s story is about far more than business success—it’s about staying true to her passion for helping others. Through her art, online courses, and retreats, she uplifts and empowers women, encouraging them to nourish their souls and embrace joy through creativity and self-kindness. As a mentor to creative entrepreneurs, she radiates possibility, sharing the wisdom she’s gained from building a thriving art business. In many ways, Kelly Rae’s work as an artist mirrors her time as a social worker. The tools may have changed, but the mission remains the same: to listen, heal, and inspire others to dream big and live fully.
Kelly Rae Roberts is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to chart a new path. With courage, creativity, and kindness, she shows us that we too can find healing, awaken joy, and create a life filled with purpose and possibility.
