Rachel Hellmann
Biography
Rachel Hellmann is a multi-disciplinary artist who is known for her ongoing series of meticulously-crafted geometric sculptures and paintings. Working both three-dimensionally and on paper, the resulting forms explore the way in which the viewer’s perception is disoriented by the distorted sense of gravity caused by the careful interplay of geometry, light, and color. Rachel Hellmann lives and works in Terre Haute, Indiana. She holds an MFA from Boston University and a B.F.A. from the University of Dayton, OH. Her work has been exhibited widely both nationally and internationally at a variety of venues including the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, the Zillman Art Museum in Bangor, ME, the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, MA, and the Elmhurst Museum of Art in Elmhurst, IL. Hellmann has been the recipient of the Blanche E. Colman Award for Painting, the Constatin Alajalov Award, and was awarded residencies at the Ragdale Foundation in Forest Park, IL, Platte Clove Preserve, Catskills, NY and Playa in Eastern Oregon. Her work is included in a number of collections, including the Addison Gallery of American Art, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, Cummins and the Zillman Art Museum.www.rachelhellmann.com
