Rae Klein
Devan Shimoyama
Rae Klein (b. 1995) lives and works in Michigan. She received her BFA in Painting from Eastern Michigan University in 2017.
Her paintings imagine worlds governed by forces larger than their inhabitants, where power is disguised, stability is provisional, and familiar things seem charged with hidden intention.
