Meet the Artist

Rachael Rossman is an Oregon portrait artist, whose work has been featured on ThePioneerWoman.com, Dooce.com, MarthaStewart.com, TheBloggess.com or at the 2010 MTV Movie Award celebrity gift lounge.

I work primarily in watercolor on Yupo, a medium which allows me to achieve tremendously organic shapes and textures. In the process, I explore the relationship between the subject and the viewer with a focus on the eyes, emotion and energy. My greatest joy is in watching seemingly incongruous shapes come together to capture the essence of a person, animal or moment in time. I like to think my portraits paint themselves.
