YOUR COMPASSIONATE TRANS SPEAKER

Rae enjoys hosting lectures and conversations at colleges and universities, LGBTQ+ centers, and community spaces across the United States. It’s been a great honor and joy speaking in classrooms of art and design majors, transgender and non-binary students, and community members across the country.

 
Thank you SO MUCH. The team loved it. I had several people come up to me afterwards to express their gratitude for your presentation and time, folks were continuing conversations on vulnerability after they left the room, and I can still hear people talking about their “aha” moments at their desks now. Major impact made.

THANK YOU RAE SENARIGHI FOR YOUR COLORFUL GENIUS. IT WILL BE CHERISHED FOR YEARS TO COME. THIS WEEKEND HAS BEEN FULL OF LOVE, QUEERNESS, ART, LAUGHTER, TEARS AND JUST PLAIN BLISS. EVERY TIME I WALK INTO OUR GALLERY (THE LIVE PAINTED MURAL) TAKES MY BREATH AWAY.

LIVE PAINTING

Live Painting Events are a great way to engage people with visual interest and leave a lasting tangible piece of artwork behind.

 

Since creating several Live Paintings for the Netflix Series “First Time I Saw Me” Rae has been hired to paint murals and portraits live for events as a way to draw people into the event and have an interesting visual component to the event space.

Live Painting Events are fun during the event itself but also leave the community with a lasting work of art for years to come.
