Meet the Owner
Rachel is the owner of RLB Art Studio, a certified art instructor, and fine artist. She currently resides in Erie, PA. Rachel was born and raised in Jamestown, NY area where she began to develop her love for Art. Spending as much time as possible outdoors, Rachel observed her natural surroundings and that art is all around us. Colors, Textures, Patterns, Shapes, & Lines all make up what we see. Art connects us all.
" Making ART is pART of who I am! When I'm not involved in some sort of project a part of me feels void. It's my therapy and we all need that. I love creating art and helping others do the same. Creating is a treasure, and it feeds our souls in a way that nothing else can."
