“Rachel Brask...explores the fluidity of paint by creating scintillating veils of thin color that cascade down her canvases…References to a world beyond are hinted at beyond the rainbow of hues that shimmer on the surface.”

Her passion for color was "relentless" from an early age. She wanted to capture and stash every color she could find...She continues to use color and the power it can produce."
Carrie Decker, arts writer
