Rachel Burgess

Rachel Burgess makes autobiographical works-on-paper of landscapes and domestic scenes. Window-like in scale, her pieces combine elements of oil painting, folk art and commercial illustration, exploring the way we create narratives based on everyday life. Attracted by the accessible, democratic nature of printmaking she works primarily in monotype, straddling the divide between popular and elite forms of storytelling.

Recent exhibitions include Ortega y Gasset Projects, the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, the Janet Turner Print Museum and the International Print Center of New York.

Burgess lives and works in New York City.
