Rachel is truly a professional. It is obvious that her knowledge about teaching art is quite vast. I've learned so much from her in the past few months! It's been great for me to pick up a hobby I'm been passionate about during the pandemic. Thanks, Rachel!

My husband bought me some lessons for my birthday, because I've been wanting to get more into drawing and painting. I loved working with Rachel, and gained a really great foundational knowledge of visual art.

If you're looking for lessons with a skilled artist and teacher, look no further! Plain and simple, Rachel is awesome at what she does. My 10 year old has been very inspired and motivated by their sessions together. They did two sessions per month for 3 months, and it was amazing to see how my kid excelled in that time period and continues to do so. Rachel has a great sense of humor, too--I can tell this makes my kid more comfortable exploring art as a budding artist.

Rachel is one of the most inspiring artists I've worked with. I feel very comfortable making art around her, which is a huge deal because I'm very self-conscious about it! Her teaching style is very approachable and accessible which is a huge reason I've been able to improve my painting skills. Not to mention her art is incredible! 10/10 would recommend.

I loved working with Rachel! I've been working on a series of comics for a while and I needed some help with my drawing technique to get it to where I felt I could self publish. I've never taken a real drawing lesson before and got so much more out of it than I expected. Thank you!

It's been years since I was in art school and I missed the environment of a formal critique. Rachel took the time to look at some of my older work as well as what I'm doing now. She helped me bring fresh eyes to it with her gentle and well rounded perspective. She was also able to point me in the direction of some new (and old) artists to help inspire me going forward. It has been so nice to talk about art with someone on her level. It's exactly what I need and I'll keep coming back to her for guidance forever if I can.

Watercolors have always frustrated me but during the pandemic I was determined to learn. These lessons were exactly what I needed to get a sense of the materials and start a regular painting practice that I really enjoy.

Rachel will meet you wherever you are creatively and guide you gently in whichever direction you want to go. I've never had a question or met a challenge that couldn't be expertly answered by her knowledge of the mechanics, theory, and history of fine art. She's warm, funny, and talented and if she can bring out the confident artist in me, she can do it for anyone!
