The Art of Feeling: How Atalie Rachael Transforms Vulnerability Into Beauty

Some artists create to be seen. Others create because it’s how they survive. For Atalie Rachael, art is a lifeline one that connects emotion to expression, pain to healing, and stillness to something deeply soulful.

A Detroit-based poet, photographer, and self-published author, Atalie isn’t trying to chase fame or go viral. She’s not about filters, flashy headlines, or playing to the crowd. She’s here to feel. To reflect. And to invite others into a space where it’s safe to do the same.

When Poetry Becomes a Mirror for the Soul

There’s something rare about Atalie’s writing. It’s quiet, almost meditative. Her poetry doesn’t demand attention it earns it, slowly and gently, like a friend who listens before speaking.

In her collections, On The Edge Of A Dream and Autumn Wounds, she writes about the parts of life most people skip over. Grief that lingers long after goodbye. Beauty that hides in the mundane. The ache of becoming someone new. These aren’t just poems. They’re conversations we’ve all had with ourselves in the quiet hours.

Her work has found its way into respected journals like Sunshy Press, The Voices Project, and Leaves Of Ink. But it’s not the publication credits that define her—it’s the way her words make you feel. Seen. Soft. Whole again.

The Lens That Captures What the Eyes Can’t Always Say

When Atalie isn’t writing, she’s behind the camera often catching fleeting, honest moments that most would miss. As the creative force behind DellaRosaPhotography, her photography carries the same emotional depth as her poetry.

She doesn’t just shoot what something looks like. She captures what it feels like.

Her Instagram, @they_call_me_atalie, offers small windows into her world: gentle portraits, soft shadows, textured light. There’s no performance, just presence. No need to pretend. And that’s exactly why people are drawn to her.

DellaRosa: A Heart-First Creative Space

Atalie’s brand, DellaRosa, isn’t built for scale. It’s built for the soul. From handwritten poems to commissioned design work and visual art, every piece is created with care, and with feeling.

This is not a mass-market project. It’s a living, breathing extension of who she is. And for the people who find her—whether through a photo, a poem, or a DM—it often feels less like a transaction and more like a meaningful exchange.

Creating from the Inside Out

Being a woman artist in today’s world can feel like swimming upstream. There’s pressure to brand, to package, to perfect. But Atalie has carved a different path—one that’s rooted in honesty.

She’s not building an empire. She’s building trust. And her community may be small, but it’s real. It’s made of people who are tired of pretending, who crave depth over clicks, and who see themselves in the art she creates.

The Beauty of Simply Feeling

At the center of it all is this: Atalie Rachael creates because she feels. And in doing so, she gives others permission to do the same.

She reminds us that it’s okay to take our time. That it’s brave to feel deeply. That art doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

In a world that often asks us to numb out, speed up, and stay on brand, her work is a rebellion made of softness. And that softness? It’s stronger than it looks.

So if you ever stumble across one of Atalie’s poems, or a photograph that seems to say exactly what you couldn’t put into words, pause for a moment. You’ve found something special. You’ve found someone who sees you.

And in this noisy world, that’s a kind of magic we don’t come across nearly enough.
