Wow Kelly, thanks so much for sharing your evolution with us. It's quite an inspiration for someone who is just getting started. It's encouraging to know that if I stick with it I will continue to grow and evolve toward my goals and dreams. Hopefully in a few years I can look back and appreciate my very humble beginnings. :)

How fun! I didn't realize how long I've been reading your blog. I remember the 2007 design. Thanks for the reminder to look back on previous work. Definitely a great way to recognize progress.

I love the looking back and the learning- It is such an important part of embracing who we are now, isn't it? And sometimes it takes really soulful courage to do so- thank you for sharing your learnings and history

I must say that when I discovered Kelly Rae Roberts' art work it was by accident. I had chosen a picture that I found on a Facebook quotes page and fell in love with it. <3 I went on to find the author's name, as it was for some reason not named (maybe because they may have cropped it or seomthing) and as soon as I found who the artist was I was ecstatic! ;) Kelly Rae Roberts, you are an amazing artist at heart, mind, & soul.
