I am a visual artist who grew up in Austin, Texas. Part of my lifestyle motto is “Life is good”.
I believe it is vital to fuel the community’s love and engagement with art through creating an environment full of art.
Our happiness is impacted by our perception of our environment and the way we interact with people.
Art creates an abundance of opportunities and possibilities for people to choose the way they live and view this world.
My art is here to guide humanity towards happiness.
My art is here to evoke feelings.
My art is here for humanity to appreciate the little things, and see how a lot of a little can make a massive impact.
My art is here for people to reflect on their relationships with each other and the relationship with themselves.
My art is here to bring us closer together.
My art is here to be inspired and show love of the natural forms in nature.
My art is here to encourage fun, play, and to live colorfully.
My name is Hallie Rae Ward. I am a fine art artist in Austin, Texas.
I create an environment of jubilation. I am inspired by relationships and my surroundings.
Life is good!

ARTIST INSPIRATION
“To understand is to stand under, which is to look up to, which is a good way to understand.”
—Sister Mary Corita (Kent) 1918-1986
I celebrate life through the repetition of patterns and simple forms. Repeating patterns and shapes is a kind of meditation for me. Repetition is the way I learn about things. Life itself is generated by repetition; the repetition of DNA, cells, and other structural elements acts as a building process for nature. I look around my personal environment and I revel in the diversity of people, and the many exciting rhythms and varied patterns I see. I do not seek to replicate nature in my art, but I am inspired by nature to create new organized shapes and designs. I also value conceptual simplicity.
Circles represent continuity, there being no beginning and no end. Dots remind me of atoms that make up everything we see. Wavy lines speak of ebb and flow. Bright colors seem to radiate the energy of life. And the playful movement of repeating dashes and bricks are for me taking life one step at a time, in jubilation!
Life is good!
