Artist Statement

 Rachel Collier is an interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on the release of internal visual language held in the emotional body, resulting in radically uplifting imagery that rides the line between the mysterious and the familiar. Her materials are activated by a meditative and repetitive process rooted in nonrepresentational painterly tradition.
