A mother, friend, teacher, and artist, Rachel finds inspiration from the everyday, the colorful world we all share together.
Rachel is a stay at home mother of two little boys. After a lifetime spend studying art and theater she took some professional time off to raise her special little guys while volunteering and eventually becoming the Artistic Director, Scenic Designer, and Scenic Painter of the local theater troupe Twin Beach Players. While working there on a shoestring budget Rachel was reminded of the unfettered joy of creation.
Rachel on the advice of a friend, finding it hard to carve out the time with two little kids to paint on canvas, began her journey into digital art. The freedom found in creation with out drying times was intoxicating. Now with a little more time on her hands as the kids are growing up she is able to bring a brush to canvas again and use all the skills she learned on her journey here to bring a fresh new perspective to her work.
