Helen Rae

Helen Rae (1938–2021) was an American outsider artist. Rae used fashion magazines as the inspiration and starting point for her colored-pencil drawings.[1] A self-taught artist, Rae was deaf and non-verbal.[2][3][4] She lived in Claremont California all of her life, and received recognition for her work late in life.[2] Rae held her first solo exhibition in 2016, at age 76.[5][6]

Her work is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.[7]
