ORIGINAL PAINTINGS
Art to Honor Wholeness
Rachel Grace Borntrager is a visual artist whose work explores the physiological and emotional complexity of human relationships. With more than six years of professional experience and a BA in Studio Art, she creates work that bridges fine art, embodiment, and emotional connection.
She is the creator of Soma-Line Method Workshop™, a painting method that maps the body’s emotional and physiological responses through intuitive line work, layered washes, and breath. Rachel is known for her color-sensitive soak-stain and oil pastel abstracts on raw canvas; drawing from the traditions of Abstract Expressionism, she combines color-field soak-stain techniques, action painting, and principles of mind-body awareness to create works that embody lived experience rather than simply depict it.
Rachel regularly collaborates with therapists, designers, nonprofits, businesses, educators, and hospitals, creating experiences that help people of all ages reconnect with themselves and one another through creative expression. She is a contracted teaching artist with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, was recently Artist in Residence at Arkansas Children’s Northwest, and is an Artists 360 Practicing Artist Grant recipient.
Rachel lives in Northwest Arkansas with her husband, Chris, and their three children.
Rachel’s work is represented by Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design, and available online and at her studio, Kaleidoscope Collective, and A Bold Collab. She accepts commissions with an average 2 month completion timeline.
