    About The Artist

    Background

    Hi, I’m Rachael Hunter, a painter from Minnesota, currently a senior at UW Madison in Wisconsin. Growing up as an only child in the Midwest, I spent a lot of time outdoors, letting my imagination run wild. That playful, sometimes eerie world of make-believe still influences my art. Creativity has always been a constant, thanks largely to my mother, who once dreamed of being an artist but was discouraged by a professor in college. Her story inspired me to embrace my own creativity, no matter what. 

    Style and Process

    I love painting figures in slightly unsettling or ambiguous situations, using bold colors—especially blues and reds—to add intrigue. I paint expressively and intuitively, sometimes with a plan and sometimes just seeing where it goes. My focus is more on capturing a feeling or atmosphere than on details, blending vibrant, surreal scenes with intense colors to create something that feels striking and a bit thought-provoking. I mostly work in oil, acrylic, and flashe paints, following whatever feels exciting in the moment and leaving space for people to bring their own interpretations.

    Inspiration

    I find inspiration all around me—from my friends and the stories they share to the everyday moments that stick with me. I often paint people I know, capturing their dreams, quirks, and even little pieces of their lives. My friends, classmates, and professors all play a big part in shaping what I create. Making art with others is something I love too; there’s something so inspiring about collaborating and bouncing ideas around. All these influences come together in my work, making it a mix of the people, places, and stories that fill my life.
