rachel ann austin
Rachel has long been passionate about creating new, beautiful things. She began her career as an artist building tables and went on to study woodworking at the Oregon College of Arts and Crafts. With this unique perspective, she soon gathered books full of sketches into a growing body of paintings.
Rachel continues to explore a number of themes with her paintings. Many of her current works resonate a sense of the simple beauty found in the spare and innocent scenes of everyday life.
Rachel lives and paints full time in Portland, Oregon. Her husband, Jon, also helps her part time cutting frames and just generally taking care of business. They work at home, which is nice since they have a cute three year old, Adelaide, and need to chase her around to give plenty of mini bear hugs throughout the day.
