From Left: Rachele, Luke, and Ella Angelo

TF: Moving from Kalamazoo MI, to Knoxville TN is a relatively big transition; what has been the hardest part about building your new life? What’s the easiest?

RA: The hardest part is when I lock my keys in my car, washing machine breaks and floods the basement, flat tires, that kind of stuff. My family has always been just a few minutes a way to bale me out. But it has made us stronger, more independent. I do miss my grandma’s cooking. The easiest thing was making friends, this is seriously a friendly region – The southern charm is for real.

TF: Are there any other local artists in Kalamazoo, or Knoxville,whose work you admire?

RA: Yes, Christopher Darling is an amazing illustrator and graphic novelist from Kalamazoo now living in New York.

TF: When you share your own work, what do you want people to take away from the imagery?

RA: I want it to sparkle, and I would like it to stay with them in some way.

TF: Tell us what to expect from your upcoming show in Maryville, TN?

RA: This is a collection of life’s most mundane moments in living color.

So there you have it, an artist whose genuinely inspired by her family and friends. An artists whose community defines her work. Lets say we removed the questions and answers, lets say we just look at the photos. I get the sense instantly that Rachele defines her work by the riches of her own personal environment, one big lovely canvas if you will. Its not something you see everyday, an artists so enamored by her child, husband, and  life in general, that she snaps shots of it, managing to create the very love, and beauty, she sees before the lens goes in front of her eye. I for one look forward to tonight’s show, fittingly titled “Seasons At Home.” There will be delicious red wine, a DJ(Luke Angelo),and plenty of positivity filling the room. Come see the community, and the “Seasons At Home” Rachele and her family share – life never looked so fun.

Luke Angelo

Tonight Rachele will be presenting “Seasons at Home” as part of the Last Friday Artwalk in Downtown Maryville. You can find the gallery and Rachele’s work at 117 W. Harper Ave, Maryville TN. Fun starts at 5:30.
