RACHEL HENDRICK

For several years, Rachel Hendrick has been working as an artist on the mid-coast of Maine. She studied Fine Arts at the University of Maine and has studied privately with other working artists. Her primary medium is oil, but she experiments with mixed media to continually progress her style. She is an avid lover of nature and the coastal splendor her home state has to offer. Her bold use of color and whimsical subject matter has been influenced by some of Maine’s most prolific artists like Lois Dodd, Marsden Hartley, and Alex Katz. The natural world and wildlife are her sources of inspiration.

Rachel has shown her work at the UUCB gallery in Brunswick; River Arts in Damariscotta; and Port Clyde Gallery in Port Clyde.

Rachel’s passion for art extends beyond the studio. She teaches art in after-school programs and offers private classes. She continues to be a strong community supporter of the arts, actively participating and volunteering whenever the opportunity arises.
