Series: Morning Promise

This is an interesting time to introduce this mini-series as the time corresponds to the Easter season. However, instead of intricate designs upon eggs, I have placed brown eggshells in a pattern with an emphasis on their present emptiness. They are the remnants or shell of what was once there. The eggshell is broken. To me the shell is something that has been overcome. Comment on the paintings below.

Series: Action, Unification

Humans are bound by time. We are not able to truly revisit and experience the past. Nor can an individual view the past and present simultaneously. If one could see the remnants of the past fade as the present took place, how would this be composed? In response, I have created this imaginary experience with bone joints that are juxtaposed in order to capture action and unification. You can read the full series statement on my blog or comment on the paintings below.

  1. Rachel, when are you going to put the rest of your work up. Can’t wait to see it up. :-)

  3. Love the work! the dimensions and shadowing are great because the bones seem to leap off the background.

  5. Rachel-
    You do beautiful work. I went to Rockford Christian and had your dad as a teacher.
    I was also an art student at Anderson University. I am very impressed with what you do- the human form is not easy. Wishing you much success!

  7. Rachel,
    The website is well-done, and your work expresses depth and thought. The muted-warm hues and piece titles fascinate me. We should be in contact! Sorry not to have been able to talk more with you last week…

  8. - Janna D 03/01/08
  9. I like the new eggshell series, Rachel. They remind me of the hope for good things in the future, new life, a fresh start. Nice work.

  10. - nancy lee 04/08/09
  11. I enjoyed finding your portfolio! The egg-shells are meaningful to me. Thanks.
