Inspired by philosophy, mythology, science fiction, spirituality, and the logic of dreams, Rae Grant's work explores the relationship between ancient ways of understanding the world and the uncertainties of contemporary life. As emerging technologies reshape human experience and increasingly mediate our relationships with one another, her paintings look toward folklore, ritual, and myth not as relics of the past, but as enduring frameworks through which we continue to make meaning.

An MFA-trained painter and writer, Grant investigates the porous boundaries between self and world, drawing on themes of identity, perception, and transformation. Through layered applications of paint, shifting perspectives, and dreamlike spatial relationships, her work inhabits a space between the familiar and the uncanny, suggesting realities that are continually forming, dissolving, and becoming something new.
