About the Author
Rachael Marie Broadwell is an artist living in rural Nebraska with her two Boston terriers. She works primarily in oil paint, watercolor, gouache, and ink. Drawing since preschool, Rachael was encouraged by her parents and teachers to pursue art, which has always been central to her life. Rachael's work captures the quiet beauty of her native Nebraska surroundings and the novel landscapes she discovers through her travels. She believes every place holds unique beauty and seeks to find and express it through her paintings. In addition to her personal art practice, Rachael teaches painting techniques both in person and online. Her work and tutorials can be found on Instagram (@rachb_art), YouTube (R.M.Broadwell Atelier), Facebook (Rachael Marie Broadwell), and Skillshare (Rachael Broadwell).
