Rachel Powers

I'm a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of emotion, energy, and form through bold color and expressive abstraction. My paintings are inspired by lived experience, memory, and moments of visceral connection to the natural world. With a background that spans fine art, design, and visual storytelling, Rachel’s work is marked by movement, layered texture, and symbolic imagery. I channel a dynamic tension between structure and spontaneity, using vibrant pigments and gestural brushwork to evoke robust emotional responses. My work has found homes with private collectors internationally. I currently live and work in California.
