About Rachel

My artistic background is very broad. I can teach anything from realism to mixed media abstraction in numerous media.

Here is a list of classes I regularly teach:

Adult painting from beginner to advanced

Painting horses and animals

Sip and Paint nights

Painting after the post impressionists

Art fundamentals: I start students with the very basics seen below:

-line (how to measure with your eye and your pencil)

-value (using dark marks and light marks to create form)

-perspective

-drawing

-color mixing

-acrylic paint techniques

-oil paint techniques

-water color techniques

I am a full time professional artist who teaches from 10-15 hours a week. I find teaching immensely rewarding as it broadens my artistic horizons as well, helps me see through other artists eyes. I enjoy helping my students discover their artistic ability and learn to express themselves through the medium.

Below, my bio gives a the full breadth of my background. Also, feel free to browse my website, I look forward to hearing from you (concealed information)

Rachel was brought up in the west by a military father and an artist mother. As an “army brat” she moved numerous times from childhood through adolescence, in a constant state of change. White recalls traveling by car across the United States, watching the repetition of street lights in the sky with fascination. This is very apparent in all her paintings as the marks express constant movement or a state of flux. As a child Rachel spent much of her time in the art studio. Her mother nurtured Rachel’s artistic interests and instilled a love for materials: from allowing her to paint with oils by her side as early as 4 years old to placing butcher paper on her bedroom walls so Rachel could jump as high as she could while making large marks on the paper.

Mid-way through high school, Rachel discovered her love for art making and materials. With hard work and determination, in 1992 she was awarded a full tuition scholarship to College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. There she excelled, enjoyed and learned most media, from painting, foundry, welding to glass blowing and print making.

In 1996 White was awarded a full tuition Graduate fellowship to Alfred University. Where she focused on sculpture, installation, digital media and print making. After this she went on to practice her art professionally, attending residencies and working for artists.

A significant change happened in 2000 while a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. Curious to know what the life of a “9-5er” would be, White sought out and obtained corporate employment. She landed in a creative studio in the luxury cosmetics advertising industry in New York City. She climbed the ladder from Production Assistant to Worldwide Director of (photographic) Retouching, responsible for the perfecting of the photographic image in order to render it more appealing to the luxury cosmetics clientele, using her expertise in imagery and the human figure to perfect and beautify. She then moved into management as the Director of Creative Operations Worldwide in brands such as Lancome, YSL Cosmetics, Ralph Lauren Fragrances and Tom Ford Beauty. Meanwhile Rachel was exhibiting in the Queens International, had an international solo show coinciding with the Polo Championship in Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic as well as at the Veuve Cliquot Gold Cup finals in West Sussex, UK.

In 2016 Rachel White left the luxury beauty advertising industry and is full time professional artist. Rachel lives and maintains her practice in her studio in Katonah, New York with her husband and two children. Since 2016 she has gained significant momentum and recognition as relevant, talented, and vivacious artist.

I taught throughout both my undergraduate and graduate programs and have continued to teach in different capacities ever since.

I am a full time professional artist, who teaches painting, drawing and art fundamentals 10-15 hours a week. I am classically trained with degrees from the below academic institutions:

Master of Fine Arts - Sculpture/Digital Arts NYSCC, Alfred University, Alfred, NY
Bachelor of Fine Arts - Fine Arts College for Creative Studies, Detroit, MI

About the lesson

I work with them for the first session to get an idea of their skill set and then customize a curriculum to suit their needs.

Adults

Seniors

Preteens

Teenagers (I have taught privately to prepare for college)

It is very important to select a teacher who is capable of teaching you the basics and provide a well rounded "toolbox" of techniqies so you are able to develop your own style and truely enjoy making.

A student I who joined my Equine Painting classes in September 2018 recently completed a beautiful realistic painting of a mustang. What was most satisfying was that he finally felt a major sense of accomplishment because he was pleased with how well the painting tuyrned out. It was a majopr milestone.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why do I want to learn how to make art? How long am I willing to take lessons to do so?

What are my expectations of this (or these) class (es)? What do I expect to be able to do once completed?

What is my favorite kind of artwork?

Who is my favorite artist?
