Rachel NK Bivans
Rachel Bivans is a Virginian-born artist based in the East Coast. She is a tactile explorer, studio professional, and experienced conservator and preservationist. She is passionate about including as many as possible. She chooses to try and support accessibility and inclusion for everyone with her creations. Rachel celebrates artwork she loves by documenting it texturally and often merging the subject with a dash of irreverent fun. She has a fondness for portraits, storytelling, and Ball Mason jars. With an emphasis on Ceramics and Stained glass, Rachel weathered Covid with acrylics, ink, and canvas in Delaware. She pressed into tactile exploraton with the supplies she had available and each series is available for view online, but also physically available for institutions to display for the visually impaired, the curious, and tactile learners.
There are aspects of her artwork, only available through touch.
