Rachael Renae

Rachael Renae I’m an artist, play enthusiast, and creativity facilitator based in Detroit, MI. I help creatives PRIORITIZE PLAY to overcome creative blocks, foster deeper connection, and confidently live big, juicy lives!I formally trained and worked as a civil engineer for over a decade, and my creative work stems from the lived experience of ignoring my creativity to pursue societal expectations. As a self-taught visual artist, I now challenge those expectations. My colorful, approachable objects and experiences offer a gentle invitation to see personal growth as curiosity and play as a tool for exhuming a buried sense of self.When I’m not facilitating creative workshops, talking on the Chaotic Creatives podcast, or in the studio making a papier-mâché project, I’m likely working on a quilt, gabbing with my pals over coffee, or binge-reading a fantasy romance book while cuddling my cats.
