About Rachel Alvarez Art

Hello, Rachel here. In 2015, I started out as The Nap Time Artist, painting only during my son's naps. I switched over to watercolors when I found out we were expecting our 2nd baby. Out of necessity & lack of time, I hand crafted a mini watercolor palette using an old Altoids tin and some cut up plastic Gerber baby food lids and painted from the front seat of our minivan. (It's amazing how compatible art & motherhood are.) A lot has changed since then. The kids are in school all day and I am working my art business full time. Having the opportunity to do both of my dream jobs has been the greatest blessing of my life. Much of my art celebrates motherhood in one way or another. The fruits, cookies, donuts and milk were all painted as part of my "Toddler Snacks" series. A collaborative project between my (then) 3-year-old son and I. He picked the subjects and then ate the "props" when I was finished painting them. My latest series, entitled "Love notes from a 4 year old named Mia" is just that. After 2 years of saving little hilarious/cute one liners that our daughter said to me during bedtime, I decided that her words needed to be out in the world making other people smile. Oh, and lots of flowers, pinks and purples because those are her favorites. The 50 state series was painted as a way to show my kids where I've been or want to take them someday.
