Bio

O. Rae is a multimedia artist currently working and living in Portland, OR. Her focus is on acrylic and gouache paintings inspired by short stories, everyday life, love, skepticism, and repetition. Pulling color palettes from another world, O. Rae’s work is vibrant and detail oriented. Her organic patterns and surreal figures can create believable spaces for the viewer’s gaze to explore. Other times the work is entirely abstract or something humorous. The paintings contain narrative elements and showcase an appreciation for process. O. Rae is pursuing an MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art and is set to graduate in May of 2026.
