Hello my name is Rae , I work as a freelance artist and performer. Currently my home is in the lush pacific north west of the USA. . I often share my artwork at music festivals so I find myself enjoying travel to new places! I’d describe myself as creative, open minded , vivacious , colorful, silly at times yet authentic~ In my free time, I very much enjoy camping and exploring coastlines! I’ve recently taken up film photography and love to experiment with new techniques on the road . Some of my very best evenings have been spent next to bonfire and sleeping under the stars~ I love meeting new people and connections would love to find other creative and kind people to share time and inspirations with!. Let’s make music art food . Few things I also love : coffee, ice cream, sushi , tattoos, cats and hearing a good story from the road ! Feel free to view my art website at: www.raevena.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have always been blessed with the ability to inspire others to create art :)

Teach, Learn, Share

My gift to share is art.
I’m always striving to learn more about love,
and teach acceptance and forgiveness along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect all the way ! Plus a good laugh and a good story. I always take the utmost care to clean up and replace anything I use (with your permission of course ) Let’s make art music or make dinner together. Adventure any one? Some of hobbies I enjoy while traveling including painting plein air, taking lots of fun film photos, camping, swimming and snorkeling islands! Also interested in exploring the nightlife in your town if that’s your scene instead~
