I was featured in a blog...

Thank you Celine for featuring me in your wonderful siamese cat blog siams.wordpress.com

I'm sorry I haven't been around too much - this recession has made my work crazy. I'm a social worker in a school and it keeps me busy to say the least! I love my work, but I love my art too, so I'll be posting new things soon. I have finished several paintings and had a show, and all my work was very well received. Here are two more of the paintings I finished for the show...




The originals will be available exclusively on www.rachelsstudio.com, when I get around to having time to put them on there : ) Can anyone relate??
