An accomplished artist, Rachel has been painting for more than 40 years. While art was always a passion, it became a vocation when she left her career in technology behind in 2002 to pursue art full time.
She began faux finishing for herself, friends and family in the early 1990′s. As a natural extension of her art, she expanded to murals and hand-painted furniture in 2002, and created a mural and decorative painting business, Moonline Arts. A mother of two girls, she also taught art classes in her daughters' school, and remains passionate about art education for children of all ages.
Next career step: Artistic Home Studio & Boutique
In 2013, Rachel teamed up with glass artist JaYing Wang to open Artistic Home Studio & Boutique in their hometown of Alameda, CA. JaYing is now the owner of Alameda Art Lab. In addition to custom painting furniture for clients, Rachel teaches furniture painting, decorative painting and canvas painting to students in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she loves every minute of it!
Rachel has an intuitive understanding of how color and paint can enhance a space in your living or working environment. She stays current on the latest products, tools and techniques as an active member of the International Decorative Artisans League (IDAL). She enjoys working with clients to bring their vision to life and looks forward to passing along her extensive knowledge of decorative and furniture painting through classes and workshops .
