Early life edit
Rae Heint grew up with only her parents in the Australian Desert at an isolated outback station called Mentor, in South Australia. The outstation, Mentor, now part of the Woomera Prohibited Area and rocket range[1][circular reference] is so remote that it was supplied by Afghani Cameleer camel train. It was in these formative years, in the isolation of the Australian desert that is the inspiration for her artistic work. The stories of the people of the desert, her father and the colors from the harsh desert landscape filled her mind from an early age. Her adult life saw Rae move to the great cities of the world, such a New York and Tokyo where she studied urban landscapes under the tuition of the New York Studio School under Graham Nickson. Rae has exhibited internationally through various galleries and Art fairs. Rae's bold and colorful paintings are the result of a 40-year career as a professional artist.
