STEF RAE’S BIOGRAPHY
western australian artist
Stef Rae is a Western Australian artist passionate about exploring and pushing the textural boundaries of paint, creating a diverse range of artworks engaging in narratives between reality and imagination.
Beginning paintings in abstraction and allowing the work to develop its own form, Stef brings subconscious and conscious elements together into realised themes of dream-like obscurity, strength, and identity.
