the artist
Rae Ann Ross lives a creative life. She alternates between homes in Long Island, Bahamas and Lancaster County, PA where she creates many of her works in her home studios.
Her painting journey is relatively new. She began in the winter of 2019 when she attended a local painting class. Her background as a gemstone jeweler and artisan gave her a strong foundation in color and design. This foundation enabled her to transition to oil painting, her medium of choice.
Rae Ann enjoys vibrant color palettes and strives to create paintings that the viewer not only sees, but feels. Her art adds a richness and style to modern interiors. Her paintings feature a broad range of subject matter, and reflect her evolution and experimentation with various styles. Her true passion leans toward the abstract and expressionism.
Rae Ann's work is intuitive, driven by ideas and emotions that
translate to shape, color, and texture on the canvas.
For Rae Ann, it has been a liberating and joyful journey of discovery.
In November of 2023, Rae Ann's piece "Nature's Tropical Whimsical Garden" was awarded Best of Show at the 52nd Annual Open Juried Art Exhibition held by the York Art Association in York, Pennsylvania.
