Raised in an artistic family, Rachel talks about memory, spirituality, motherhood and how the process of making is embedded in her life. Raised in New Jersey, Rachel received her M.F.A. in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2012 and her B.F.A.  in painting, from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005. Rachel has exhibited in the U.S. and abroad. She currently has a solo,  If You Like Piña Coladas, Curated by Lauren Powell at One River School, Woodbury, NY   By repurposing materials, making and remaking them into paintings and sculptures, Klinghoffer prompts a reimagining of uses for these relic-like objects. Articles reflect the artist’s personal connection to femininity, craft-making, Judaism, romance, pushing the definition of painting. Through time, the items become specimens, icons. They are poked, prodded, stained, sprayed, stroked, rubbed, dipped, then pulled, torn, cracked open and broken apart making up and becoming the new work.   TOPICS:   Holding onto the ephemeral How objects inspire   Working with “things that are worn out” The spiritual in art Organizing and categorizing as part of the process of making Move with ease and surrendering to the flow of making Thinking of color as speed Not having everything sit on the same note visually Motherhood Saying “yes”   Artists Mentioned:   Michelle Grabner Judy Glantzman Holly Hughes Marina Adams Candida Alvarez Michiko Itatani Hilary Doyle Lauren Comito Eleanna Anagnos Sarah Brenneman Allison Reimus   Thank you to our sponsor!   Sunlight Tax: Get your FREE Artist Tax Deduction Guide by heading to  www.sunlighttax.com/ilikeyourwork You can also save $25 on Money BootCamp using the code: ILIKEYOURWORK25   LINKS:   https://www.rachelklinghoffer.com/ http://instagram.com/rachelklinghoffer One River School   I Like Your Work Links: I Like Your Work Podcast Studio Planner Instagram Submit Work: Apply to Out Winter Exhibition Observations on Applying to Juried Shows
