ABOUT ME

My name is Delaney Rae and I am an artist based in the Tampa Bay area. I am a painter, photographer, and lover of capturing feeling in my work. Graduating with a BFA in Art from the University of Tampa in 2023, I have experience in a wide array of mediums. Specifically I focus in painting, digital photography, and printmaking.

I love to travel and explore new places. When I'm not working on my next painting or editing photos you can find me curled up on the couch with a book and tea.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my work!
