Babe, Honey, and Bi Bi is an exploration of my response to infertility and the adoption of of our beautiful daughter, a 22 year old African American woman who has been a part of our lives for four years. She came to live with my husband and I in her Senior year of high school, after many difficult years living from house to house after her parents died when she was fourteen.  We are adjusting to the new titles of mom and dad, and the suddenness of an adult college student in our active lives. Her joy is remarkable after years of disconnect, loss and sorrow, and we are so proud of her.  I have made a conscious choice to call her Bi Bi as I believe that a term of endearment would have occurred naturally if she had been in my arms since birth.

Rachael Van Dyke is a full-time artist creating abstract landscape and figurative work inspired by living off the grid in the Blue Ridge mountains and traveling abroad. Van Dyke is an avid artist-in-residence and has participated in national and international residencies. These residencies create new boundaries for her work and encourage an alteration of technique and expression. These boundaries also create stimulation as she is forced to understand and come to terms with her limitations. Being open to a new color palette or a new visual language to express the land and culture is necessary. Rachael chooses to explore the region through hiking or bicycling, visiting museums and historic sites, and trying her hand at engaging with local residents. Each body of work is influenced by place and tells a story of the people and land that she’s encountered. Instagram
