About My Art
Rachel
As the daughter of an architect, I was raised amidst hand drawn sketches and blueprints on the North Shore of Long Island, New York. From a young age, I developed a love for drawing and design, spending hours sketching cityscapes and houses in pencil and ink, just like my Dad. At the same time, I also began my journey in the performing arts, starting the cello at eight years old. Over the years, I found a way to merge my love for both worlds, ultimately earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Advertising & Design and also Cello Performance.
I have been told that my pieces capture the inspiration drawn from my father's work as an architect, while my studies of classical music and cello technique subtly inform the rhythm and flow of the visual compositions, creating an organic harmony of rigid structure & fluidity. Merging these seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive whole is a challenge that I embrace as an artist.
This interweaving of spontaneity with discipline weaves together a visual narrative that resonates differently with each viewer—something I believe is at the heart of compelling abstract art! Thank you taking a look at art that I love creating!
I like to work in acrylic paint, ink, pencil and oil stick on stretched canvas. Working in mixed media gives me the freedom to merge movement and order, using the brush to convey an intricate symphony of color and form that resonates on both a literal and abstract level.
I use bold, vibrant color palettes, which capture attention yet maintain balance between contrasting shades. Black lines connect and outline shapes and guide the viewer’s eye across the canvas, crafting an invisible narrative that intertwines the elements.
I create these pieces in my home studio in Centerport, New York where I live with my husband, son and cocker spaniel.
