Rachael (Eastman) O'Shaughnessy
As a native of Maine, Rachael graduated with honors from Maine College of Art, where she worked with Johnnie Winona Ross, Ed Douglas, and Honour Mack. She later attended Vermont Studio Center, working with Wolf Khan and Lois Dodd, as well as conducting independent studies in Paris, London, and The Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.
In recent years, Eastman’s interest in Eastern Philosophy, and Romanticism have begun to merge with perennial influences Joseph Mallord William Turner, Frederic Church, and Mark Rothko as her passion for color and light meet the Maine coastline.
Eastman's ocean dawn marathon and storm rituals helped to incite current bodies of work, which cull from luminist and Hudson River School traditions traditions as they meet the Maine waters.
