"Aquarius" Fine Art Print

JR Rapier, a professional artist living in the U.S., naturally gravitated to drawing and painting as a child. Gradually through her life she grew more incumbent with her talent as a painter. JR vividly illustrates the power of spirituality through a poetic style of her own. She explores the human condition, inner child fantasies, and landscape themes by capturing the innate beauty through magnifying light, color, and structure. For as long as she can remember, JR has been enamored with the luring landscapes in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest regions of the U.S. These vast and unique lands inspire JR with an energetic sacred voice that speaks through her work. Over the years, her work has evolved into figurative work, both surreal and realistic. She explores human conditions by evoking emotion. Her work has transformed from capturing her exterior world around her to expressing her personal interior world with conviction. JR’s earliest inspiration comes from Georgia O’Keefe. While O’Keefe is still her favorite, she is also inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lantrec. Currently her work is showing and represented in Austin by Art for the People Gallery, Wonderwall Studios. In New Mexico, she is represented by Alhambra Art Gallery in Taos and Keep Contemporary Gallery in Santa Fe. She works on commission with professional corporate art curators around the country and is commissioning work for her own private clients. JR has shown her work in National juried competitions, and in international art fairs around the world.
