"The power of the unseen offers a means to search out the edge of the unknown, from the worlds of the subconscious to the supernatural. As an artist, I see my role as a medium and my paintings as acts of sorcery... My paintings are at once talismans, meditations on color, and energetic offerings." - Rachel Dawson
Rachel Dawson is an artist and educator based in Oakland, CA. Her practice bridges artistic and metaphysical processes, seeking to render the invisible visible and materialize the immaterial.
