RAEART paintings

the art of Darryn James Rae

I am a Canadian artist born in Kelowna British Columbia in 1971. My interest in art started when I was very young...Back when Garfield comics and Charlie Brown Cartoons were popular...I think it was in the early 80's...
I would try to copy the characters as best I could and then
erase parts, such as eyes and distort them, or make them larger etc... So I was already starting to develop some forms of creativity and unique techniques that would later shape my styles...

In 1994 I started a 3 year coarse at Fanshawe College for Fine Arts. Although I didn't gain a whole bunch of artist knowledge on technique or design, however I was surrounded by some great artists and insightful teachers.
It also gave me three years of creative enjoyment!

After graduating from College in 1997 I started painting
a lot more frequently and really getting inspired with larger abstract forms and forming some unique characters and dreamy landscapes.

In 1999 I listed my paintings on the internet through various free websites and auctions such as Yahoo and Ebay...My paintings started selling...With over 700 paintings sold worldwide over a span of only 4 years It was pretty good. But then sales on ebay started to decline and I stopped selling through ebay.

I created my own website this year and put a lot of effort into it and try to keep it updated as much as possible...I have sold several paintings through my website as it is starting to gain more exposure.
