Rachelle Stracke Designs

Welcome to my art journey! I specialize in creating abstract artwork, utilizing mark making techniques, texture mediums, and acrylic paint.  My substrates are either cradled wood panels or canvas.  My canvas pieces are sealed with varnish, while my wood panels are sealed in resin, which provides a glass-like finish.

 

My approach combines a fun and sometimes whimsical style with contemporary elements, allowing each piece to evolve through various techniques.  This is generally referred to as Intuitive Painting.  I usually begin without much of a plan and let things flow as they may.  Even when I think I have "a plan" it usually changes many times.  My paintings evolve over time; I have learned to step away and come back and to create in layers.

​

I believe art is very personal, individual and subjective.  What draws you to a piece may be its color, style, texture, or perhaps it triggers a memory or evokes a feeling.  For whatever the reason, we like what we like, and I hope you find something here that speaks to you.

 

I'm also available for commissions and would love to collaborate with you to bring your vision to life!

 

Cheers!
