Rachel Paxton [1981, Textiles]

My submission is of all original paintings created 100% by myself. For the larger paintings, I use acrylic paint on canvas with some texture and glazing. The smaller works on paper are a mixture of acrylic, chalk paint and watercolor. They are sold either framed or matted to fit in standard size frames. The small works on paper are designed to be diptychs, triptychs or groups of four, but they can be purchased individually as well. My RISD degree in textiles has informed my paintings which are inspired by mid-century design and fabrics. I work intuitively, without preliminary sketches or photogenerated images in order to achieve an immediacy that is expressed in the handmade object
