Lottie Rae is a contemporary Australian artist, creative entrepreneur and storyteller from Trangie, in outback New South Wales. Raised on her family’s farm, Lottie’s work is deeply rooted in country resilience, storytelling and community - blending nostalgic Australian iconography with bold, modern energy.
In 2023, Lottie sold her small business and took a calculated risk on herself - converting a shipping container into a home studio and committing one year to make painting her full-time pursuit. The turning point came with a portrait of bushranger Captain Thunderbolt, which gained rapid traction online and established her signature style: character-driven works that fuse Australian folklore with contemporary cultural references.
Since launching her art career, Lottie has sold works internationally - including to Gigi and Bella Hadid, appeared on The Today Show, and hosted multiple sold-out solo exhibitions. She has collaborated with major brands including Levi’s, where her limited-edition custom jacket sold out in under two minutes.
In 2025, Lottie appeared on the inaugural season of “Portrait Artist of the Year Australia” (ABC), winning her heat with a portrait of Ken Done. She later competed on Season 11 of “Australian Survivor” (Ch 10), which aired in February 2026, and was also invited to participate in a promotional version of “Alone Australia” (SBS).
With over 85,000 Instagram followers and a rapidly expanding national profile, Lottie Rae represents a new wave of regional Australian creatives - bold, commercially savvy and unapologetically authentic.
