My name is Rachel. I am a self-taught artist who works primarily with mixed media and gouache paint. I delight in making art with shiny stuff I find.
My artwork for the most part is devotional. I am humbled that I get to use my gifts to inspire prayer and conversation with God. I love making stuff that helps people connect more deeply with their faith and their relationship with Our Lord and the communion of saints.
I studied English at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. This was one of the most formative experiences for my soul. I love, love, love the role of narrative and lyric in our storied lives.
I studied theology and pastoral leadership at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. I make art in a little home studio in the River Parishes. My German Shepherd puppy, Hilde (short for Hildegard) keeps me company when I paint
I also contribute to a little arts journal called Joie de Vivre, where my passions for literature, theology, and art synthesize to celebrate the beauty of the bayou. JDV is a publication of The St. Louis IX Art Society down in Louisiana
If you are connected with a particular devotion or patron saint, let me know--I would love to paint something to help inspire you in your faith life!
