map used in the painting. Framed with a simple handmade wood frame gives the painting a boxy look. Tilde also will show Rachel’s newest series

Rachel Ann Austin has long been passionate about creating beautiful things. She began her career as an artist building tables and went on to
study woodworking at the Oregon College of Art and Craft. 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 in her paintings. Many of her current works resonate a sense of loneliness,
filled with the simple beauty in the spare and innocent scenes of everyday life.
