About
I am a college honor student with a passion for art. Art is expressive, empowering, and healing. ~Rachel
I am a college honor student passionate about art and how it can be used therapeutically.
Art is expressive, empowering, and healing. Creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. Just the presence of art can boost mental well-being. My gallery of art depicts my developing work as an artist. I have personally experienced art expression as therapeutic.
"Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist." ~ Eileen Miller
"A work of art comes only from inside a human being."~ Edvard Munch
Do you create items for purchase?
Yes. I would love to discuss ideas for requests.
What experience, training, and education do you have?
I am currently majoring in Art and Psychology at Eastern Mennonite University. I work at The Art Spot, where customers come to create art and participate in paint nights and camps for children.
In high school, I completed Art I, II, III, IV Advanced, and Art Portfolio, was awarded four art awards and two SOAR awards, completed Outschool online classes, participated three years in Shenandoah Summer Arts Academy, a two-year member of the National Honor Society and secretary, graduated with two years at Massanutten Regional Governor's School, and in May 2022 I graduated with an advanced high school diploma and Associate of Arts degree from what is now named Laurel Ridge Community College. Please see my gallery pages for examples of my work.
Are any of the works in your photos for purchase?
Yes. View my gallery sections for highlights of my development as an artist. I have an array of merchandise for purchase created by Society6 with my art designs incorporated. My merchandise includes canvas tote bags, keychains, coffee mugs, pillows, beach towels, high-quality stickers, coasters, zipper bags, and mini-framed canvas prints. I also have a variety of notecards and high-quality prints. I order prints and framing of my artwork as well.
Sincerely,
Rachel
