Artist's Statement
My name is Rachel Uchizono and I live in Roanoke, VA.  I think my work inspires a joyful connection with nature.  I am attracted to organic shapes.  My favorite subjects are trees, water and distant mountains.  My passion is my garden and painting flowers and seasonal fruit.  Lilacs in the early spring, then peonies, Zinnia and dahlia in the fall, and branches from my persimmon tree.  My attachment to certain objects are in my still life paintings: the geisha vase, the delft bunny cup and Chinese opium jars.  I love vivid color and am attracted to violet blues and candy orange. The most successful paintings have poetry and joy conveyed.  That is my goal when I paint, to make an impression of poetry and joy.
My process is finding a subject that brings me that connection.  I need to relate to a landscape or still life with an emotional feeling that I want to share with the viewer

The setting looks amazing and I would like to paint on location.  I am a plein air painter by training and have been looking for scenes to paint in Virginia.  Being immersed and spending two weeks getting to know the area is the best way to paint.  My artistic process is to commit to painting every day for an extended period of time.  As a painter I get very warmed up and the process evolves to a higher level.  Being able to focus and have that time is truly a gift.
