Happy Holidays! Thank you for your interest in my work. I've been busy in the studio getting ready for the Grand Opening of the Public Market and Wine Cellars of Washington in Snohomish. This elegant indoor market hosts over 100 fine artists and is NOW OPEN Saturdays 10-6pm and Sundays 10-5pm year round. A very popular wine tasting area opens at 11:30, where over 25 of Washingtons best wineries offer samplings for only $1 each.

Welcome
Karla Rae Studios
This painting, "Sunflowers", was just completed in October as part of my Tuscan Color series. It is now showing at the Market Fresh Cafe' in Snohomish. A 24" X 36" Acrylic Painting on a museum gallery board, it is cheerful and inspiring to lighten these winter days. Just click on "gallery" at the top of the this page to see more of my latest paintings.
I have also been working on some wonderful fruit and wine bottles, boxed cards, and gift items in preparation for upcoming shows, which there will be fewer of this year as we transition to gallery representation and direct studio sales.
You may aquire any of my paintings or prints by calling the studio, or sending me an email. As a professional artist, conservator, and picture framer, I enjoy helping you select the right piece of artwork to suit your home or business. Give me a call.
Special orders are my specialty!
