Hi there! Welcome to my art studio.

I’m Rachel,

an illustrator who believes art enhances life! As a mom to six children - four are adults, I have experienced exhilarating mountaintops with my kids as well as waded through a fair share of mundane days as well. Finding beauty in everyday life, whether when reading a picture book, experiencing nature, petting your cat, tasting a delicious meal, or moments together with a friend, life is meant to be celebrated!

I love the challenge of telling a story through art - thus my fondness for children’s books. I also like creating stationery products & small gifts, home decor, patterns, and product designs because they are all items which help us connect with those we love and cherish.

I have a master’s degree in interior design and love history, biographies, travel, food, animals, nature, and discovering new wonders.

If you are interested in working with me, please head to the contact page…

Put on those rose-colored glasses and let’s dream together!

…love your home, your life, and cherish those in your care.

Celebrate the Life You’ve Been Gifted

xoxo,
Rachel
