Welcome!
Rachel Espenlaub (b. 1991) is a painter from Colorado Springs, CO, currently creating geometric abstract acrylic paintings.
Rachel Espenlaub forged her distinctive triangle-based abstraction after years of painting in a realistic style. Her artistic evolution, marked by a fearless exploration of color relationships, patterns, and non-objective forms, has enabled a profound shift towards conceptual expression, transcending traditional representational depictions.
She earned a B.F.A. in Painting in 2015 from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, with her studies spanning two years in Philadelphia, PA, and two years in Rome, Italy. Living in dense cities has surprisingly reminded her of the mountain vistas in her home state of Colorado, and she has incorporated this love of towering spaces into her artistic work.
