A nerdy mountain gal with silly to spare. I delight in nature’s brilliant details; creating vibrant, intricate, impressionistic landscapes with SO.MANY.DOTS!
Message
Rachael is a self-taught stippling and impressionistic painter. A small-town “mountain girl” at heart, after living in the mid-west and the San Francisco Bay Area, she proudly makes her home in the foothills of Colorado. Rachael combines her love for this beautiful world, the outdoors, and organic textures with her vibrant use of color and meticulous mark-making with “dots” to create her artworks.
Rachael had many inspirations for art and creativity in her family and life. She earned a B.S. in Business from the University of Colorado and a Master of Science in Information Systems from the University of San Francisco. After fifteen years in the corporate and higher education sectors as an HR and Information Systems specialist, Rachael began to focus on her passion for creating impressionistic, detailed, month-spanning artworks in themes of nature, texture and the bold use of color. Rachael’s artwork has shown in a number of exhibitions in the Rocky Mountain Foothills (and once on a Jumbotron in Times Square).
Statement
I've consistently integrated art and creativity into everything I do. I'm attracted to opportunities to express these qualities, and when they don't exist, I create my own. Using fineline pens and acrylic paint, I find joy and calm in capturing the intricate details of nature. My art practice allows me to channel, express, and celebrate my neurodiversity.
Nature, with its mesmerizing patterns—from ordinary trees to breathtaking rock formations—inspires me. I love translating these elements into my art using acrylic dots, bold colors, and intriguing contrasts. Why landscapes and nature? They are soothing, accepting, and rich with beauty and intricacy. In nature, I can be my true self, free from judgment. The moments I experience there resonate with me and inform my artwork, allowing me to share those feelings and experiences with others.
My art celebrates the beauty in details, revealing that a million tiny components create a complete picture. I aim to delight viewers through the intricacies of my work and the emotional impact of vibrant scenes.
