• Rachel Hess hails from the quaint town of Maria Stein, Ohio, where she was raised in a nurturing environment that valued exploration and creativity. Encouraged by her family to pursue her interests, Rachel found her passion in the arts, leading her to study graphic design and fine arts at the University of Cincinnati. After college, she immersed herself in the vibrant culture of New York City, absorbing knowledge and inspiration from every corner. Today, Rachel resides in Durham, North Carolina, where she embraces a slower-paced life, freelancing in graphic design while indulging in her hobbies of dance and pottery.

  • Rachel's artistic approach is defined by her experimental, playful, and colorful style with a minimalist touch. She thrives on merging disparate ideas into cohesive, unexpected artworks, a process a friend playfully describes as "weeble-wobble." This philosophy allows her to turn off her critical mind, delve into her emotions and observations, and often results in abstract creations that are as thought-provoking as they are beautiful.

  • Rachel has participated in various exhibitions, most notably the "Sisters" show last spring, which featured her alongside her artistic siblings near their Ohio hometown. The event was not just an exhibition but a celebration of family and creativity, reflecting the strong familial ties that continue to influence her work.

  • Currently, Rachel is perfecting her skills in pottery, specifically focusing on wheel-throwing techniques, while maintaining her role as a full-time graphic designer. She is also gearing up to launch an online store that will feature her personal artwork, allowing her to share her unique vision with a broader audience.
