A graphic designer, art director, educator, and collage artist in San Diego, Rae uses doodling to help her navigate stress. In the midst of disruption and life upheaval caused by the pandemic, Rae turned to sharpies, acrylic crayon, paint, marker, and collage to develop playful, bright, and original landscapes from recycled book board. These bright wonderlands from Rae’s imagination become a place to experience relief from anxiety. They draw a parallel to the meditative nature of creation. Her work presents a pathway to set one’s mind free, heralding the truth that sometimes space and distance are the best way to address reality.
