Rachel Uchizono lives in
Laguna Beach, CA. She paints local
canyon and ocean scenes.
Painting on location or Plein
Air, small studies are brought back to the studio to use as inspiration for
larger paintings.
Peacocks are also a favorite
subject and flowers from her garden.
Rachel has an adventurous
palette and paints with an impressionistic distinctive style.
"The technique of painting sounds simple
yet getting the values right and putting only the necessary information from a
complex scene can be a challenge."
Her paintings are soulful and express the joy
and beauty of nature.
Rachel has studied with Ray
Roberts, Mark Kerckhoff, Ken Auster, Cynthia Britain and Saim Caglayan.
