Painting, portraits

Rachel Eleanor Brown is an American artist born 1991 in Boston, MA and raised in southern Vermont.  She is based in Brattleboro, VT as a painter, tattooist, and writer.  After studying at Parsons the New School for Design in NYC in 2009, she pursued her apprenticeship in tattooing which led to opening Strange Brew Tattoo in 2011.  Alongside tattooing, she has spent the last decade concentrating in watercolor illustrations that pull inspiration from traditional tattoo elements as well oil portraiture of musical and historical influences. 

“I have a steadfast belief that we all have creative abilities, and that talent is a pursued interest we work on each day.  To leave no stone unturned in my mind’s eye, and to stretch my versatility, is a worthwhile pursuit in the artwork I seek to create.”
