Was it the sock monkeys, or that tarot bear that got me? A little of both, honestly. Philadelphia based artist Rachel Romano is our ‘member in the spotlight’ today. These surreal oil paintings on linen are inspired by…
“… the adversity, strength, and resilience of herself and others; particularly women and children. The stories of humanity, their personal myths, fill her creative well. Feeling/seeing the laughter, love, and sorrow in people, keeps Rachel connected to the greater picture. It is in this connection that brings the richness of story out in her work… “
You can find Rachel’s available work on her site, and she’s on Instagram at @rachelromanofineart.
Happy Holidays from my family to yours! Our 2023 recap… My son got his drivers license, my husband taught our puppy, Agnes, to paddleboard (kinda), and I took this selfie because nobody ever takes pictures of the mom!? Anywho, I’m taking a few days off to sit by the fire, make art, and regroup. I’ll be back in your inbox on Wednesday the 27th with another featured artist and, of course, a new JUMP-DAY prompt! Have a lovely weekend ~ Danielle xo
By far, the best money spent to receive daily art in my inbox. Funny and informative. Merry Christmas and thank you for the art inspiration!
The one email I look for and open every day, unless I save a batch to open all at once, like the best pile of presents ever! Thank you for the introductions to so many great artists and for the intelligent humor ❤️
