Hi. I'm Rachelle Rose.
With the millions of surfing destinations available on the internet, I'm flattered that you'd spend a few minutes here with me. So, thank you for taking the time to read a little about me on my quirky little website.
My formal training and college degrees are in fine art, music, and elementary education. I draw, paint, take lots of pictures, and generally make unusual crafty things when I'm not working or raising children. My favorite medium changes all the time, but I always end up reacquainting with watercolor. It cleanses my soul. It is my other language. I also paint originally designed tee shirts, old records, Maneki Nekos, gyotaku, and mandalas. I make beaded jewelry. I make stained glass mosaics. I also play with garbage. I make things with found objects. I have a crazy fetish for any and all kind of pens and calligraphy or handwritten ephemera. If you take me to an office supply store, I can spend at least an hour looking only at pens and weighing every possible option. This is true. Ask my husband.
Some of my influences are Klimt, Dali, Hieronymous Bosch, Chuck Close, the Saturday morning cartoons of my youth, any sort of animation, Takashi Murakami, Rivka and Betty Schaffner, Don Snell, Anime, Manga, the elegant art of Etegami, particularly esoteric or ridiculous fortune cookies, photobooth photography, incredibly silly pop culture, my disjunct, bizarre, and sometimes grotesque dreams, zombie movies, the genius of Carl Jung, art nouveau, art forms in nature, and the uber-coolest classic cartoon lady of all time: my hero, Betty Boop.
I cook. From scratch. All cuisines. 'Nuff said.
I only listen to one kind of music. The good kind.
I am superstitious.
Sometimes I try to see molecules.
Despite my surname, my favorite flower is actually the daisy.
I love the smell of oranges.
I like to put potato chips on my sandwiches to make them crunchy.
I am a Leo and I was born in the Year of the Monkey.
I do not believe in heaven or hell.
