Hush Now

My name is Rachel Ahava Rosenfeld-Dlatt, and I am a painter working in Wrigleyville, Chicago. Every day I spend hours mixing colors on my giant glass palette, facing off with new canvases, and conducting research. My studio houses countless unresolved paintings as well as my shoebox-archive of found snapshot photographs and the treasure-trove of art books that bring my artistic practice to life.

Since moving to Chicago in the summer of 2016, I have shown work in museums, pop- up galleries, and group exhibitions from Chicago to San Diego, New York, and beyond. I recently completed the first Connect International Artist Residency, which culminated in an exhibition. I continue to be involved with Connect as their first Fellow.Away from my easel, I spend every Sunday teaching Kindergarten in my role on the faculty of the Joseph and Belle Braun Anshe Emet Religious School.
