While I love fish and reef inhabitants, dogs really steal my heart (well, and my husband, Jeff, of course)
My name is Rachel Fogle. Art has always a passion for me - I have been painting for 30+ years. I am drawn to light, water, and reflections. My painting style is somewhere between realism and impressionism, and can lean one way or the other depending on my mood. I started in watercolors, then added acrylics and found a true passion with oils. However, I've now found an addiction to UV paint.
I’ve always been one to experiment with different painting styles and materials, so in early 2017 I set out to blend my passion for painting with my passion for coral reefs by creating reef-inspired art. I use primary acrylic paint and then strategically place highlights with UV-reactive paint to replicate the beautiful and awe-inspiring fluorescence corals give out under actinic lighting.
I reside in Stonington, Connecticut with my husband, Jeff, our Standard Poodle (Blizzard), our Bichon (Ripple), and our two cats, McGanahan and Madeline. Want to know more? Have questions? Want to say hi? Send me a message!
