About Rachel

Hello! My name is Rachel Parker. I am a lifelong artist, teacher, and learner. Creating new work helps me explore my inner, non-verbal self and share my view of the world with others. I primarily draw and paint in the abstract, and I am always excited by the challenge of reconstructing realistic or familiar subjects in a new way. I enjoy working in the abstract because each piece derives all of its logic from my mind. I love looking at a finished product and thinking, “Wow! My mind just created this entire piece."

I continue to use a colorful, op-art style to build geometric compositions and push myself to tackle larger and more complicated subjects. Most recently, I have been compelled by reconstructing human anatomy and architectural landscapes. My most commonly used materials are acrylic paint, canvas, markers, colored pencil, and paper. But I have the most fun when I make common objects into “canvases.” I paint and modify tables, chairs, walls, objects I find outside, and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.

I hope you enjoy looking through my body of work. Whether you would like to provide feedback about my pieces or you would just like to talk about art, I can be easily reached through email. I will respond promptly and enthusiastically!
