Hi, I’m Rachel.
I illustrate for picture books and art licensing as well as paint.
How can I help you?
Do you have a story you are bursting to tell, or a special project you’d like me to help you with?
I’d love to hear about it!
Celebrate the life you’ve been gifted!

Below are some of the mixed-media oil paintings available on my Etsy shop.
“FOREST STAG”
The noble stag is the last to join the crowd as he has been diligent to watch over the smallest of the arrivals so that no danger befalls them along the way. He has brought a summer berry salad with floral greens as his dish to share, but he is most excited to learn of news from the villagers.
“LUMINOUS DREAMS”
In the darkness of night when I should be sleeping I dream of glowing castles and giant flowers whose nectar feeds the hummingbird chicks. One by one the attendees of the Woodland Fest arrive at the forest glade, bearing baskets filled to the brim with sweets, buns, savory crackers, salty cheeses, and fruity teas. Each has a story to tell, of victories, adventures, astonishments, or simply relational chatter.
“GALLANT STEED”
Across hill and dale this loyal friend will accomplish the mission he sets forth to do, no matter the level of difficulty. When the task is complete he loves nibbling on fresh petal and drinking from clear springs.
