Rachael
Pease (Born Franklin, Indiana 1980) studied
chemistry at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana,
in 1999 and, graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree,
with a biology minor, from Indiana University, Bloomington,
in 2004. She was awarded an Indiana University International
Experience Grant to study in Florence, Italy, in 2002. She
earned her Master of Fine Art degree with a concentration
in painting from the University of Pennsylvania School of
Design in Philadelphia in 2006.
Rachael’s work is inspired by poetry and her experience
of life on an Indiana farm - the ideas of control and display.
Her recent body of work deals with the ephemeral quality
of existence and is expressed on gossamer fabrics or mylar,
which are stained and delicately coloured. Rachael’s recent
subjects seem to arise out of her interest in science -
at times a Rorschach test and, by times an x-ray – always
as if a specimen to be recorded and then analyzed. The delicacy
of her rendering and the poetic sentiments her works embody
are a testament to her reverence and wonder at what they
represent.Rachael has participated in many group exhibitions
and is the recipient of many important honors and awards.
Rachael Pease
lives and works in Brooklyn NY.
