A California native, Rachel Uchizono spent years in New York, where the varied landscapes and seasonal changes of the northeast inspired her affinity for the outdoors. Now a resident of Laguna Beach, Rachel began to formalize her love for the wilderness through painting. Many of her works capture the myriad of light and color prevalent in the California coastline’s landscapes and seascapes. Her still life paintings echo this sensitivity to light, shadow and the vivid colors of native flowers and foliage.
Rachel Uchizono has devoted the last several years to studying and refining her skills in the “plein air” tradition. She exhibits at Studio 7 Gallery in Laguna Beach.
“California provides a remarkable landscape for capturing the play of light and color in nature. I actively pursue inspiration from wild and undiscovered locations, seeking a unique view of this magnificent region of the country.”
