About Rachel

A lifelong artist, Rachel imbues her paintings with her love for travel, nature, elegance, and adventure. Rather than creating large gallery pieces, her paintings are created to make personal, intimate spaces more unique, expressive, and meaningful. The Mid-Atlantic, Charleston, California, and Italy appear as frequent subject matter. Her work has been featured in the Circle Gallery, the Artists’ Gallery of Ellicott City, the Saville Gallery, and Maryland Hall through juried shows by the Maryland Federation of Art, the Annapolis Arts Alliance, AND Creative, and the Howard County Arts Council. An archivist by day, Rachel was born in California.
