.Rene’s Creations

I’m just a holler raised gal from eastern KY. I have a bachelors of arts degree from Morehead state university. I currently work full time as a graphic designer and reside in WV. In college my main focuses of study was studio arts, graphic design, with a focus in illustration. I also took ceramic and other sculpture courses. My own work has been described as whimsical and impressionistic. Outside of graphic design I currently do illustrative pyrography.

Americana Music Association Awards & Honors Artist

Born, bred, and buttered in the coalfields of eastern Kentucky, Stef Ratliff, also known as KYARTRAT, creates her artworks with a story in mind. Some true, some embellished, some are just bullshit covered in glitter & rhinestones. Though she fell in love early in her career as a scenic artist, she stepped away from theater to continue her career as a full time sculptural painter and potter. An award winning artist for both her 2d and sculptural work, she is also an NCECA award-winning ceramic artist. Ratliff has made herself right at home in a pair of paint & clay splattered dirty overalls. What you won’t find on Ratliff’s resume is her uncanny ability of picking Keenland winners, traveling at a moments notice, starting more books than finishing, making poor choices in men, and adopting all the dogs. Come for the art, stay for the stories—just don’t ask her for relationship advice.
