Barbara Rae

Dame Barbara Davis Rae DBE RA FRSE (born 10 December 1943) is a Scottish painter and printmaker.

"[2] After graduating, Rae received a travel scholarship that allowed her to spend time painting in France and Spain.

[5] Rae has homes in Scotland, Los Angeles, and France and often travels elsewhere in Europe and the southwest United States.

[1][2] Rae has said that she does not regard herself as a Scottish artist, though her "relationship with the landscape and history of the west coast of Scotland" has inspired much of her art.

[2] Subject matter for her prints tend to the socio-political, her main interest in whatever has been shaped by the hand of man or woman, and weathered by age: an old Irish farmhouse, a door or fence gate, an ancient standing stone, a terrace of vines.
