Rachel Srinivasan- Modern Artist 

I was born in Oklahoma. I began drawing by scribbling on paper as a one and a half year old. Most of my formative years were spent in Omaha, Nebraska. I discovered my love of figurative art before high school and studied at the Bemis Fine Art Center. While in high school I received the Marie Walsh Sharpe Scholarship and attended the Marie Walsh Sharpe camp in Colorado Springs. I preferred working in acrylics and ink during this period. Then, I traveled abroad to study in Rome, where I was immersed in Italian art and language. There I was also introduced to working in oil. Upon returning to the US, I attended ASU and earned a Bachelor’s of Art in Painting and a Bachelor’s of Language Arts in Italian.
