About
Hello! I’m Rachel Smith, a multifaceted artist based in Austin, Texas, specializing in murals and functional ceramics.
I began my journey as an interior designer, but I quickly realized it wasn’t my true calling. My heart was yearning to break free from the cubicle confines. After 3 years in the practice, I took a leap of faith and embraced my childhood passion for art.
pas·sion /ˈpaSH(ə)n/
noun
the thing that sets your little-kid-soul on fire before people tell you “it won’t make money” or “that’s not a real job”.
Today, I am wholeheartedly focused on painting custom murals and creating unique, small-batch ceramics. These two pursuits LIGHT. ME. UP! There’s a poetic beauty in the seemingly chaotic process of art-making, culminating in clean and intentional pieces for others to experience and interact with. I aim to create works that provoke thought, evoke emotion, and inspire.
My primary goal is to blend my distinctive style with your business’s branding, crafting custom art that captivates your audience. I’d describe my style as illustrative and dreamlike, characterized by vibrant colors, gradients and surrealism.
On any given day, you can find me listening to a new audiobook, spending time with my dog, creating something new or hanging with friends.
