as this is first official blog post on my first official website (the other posts are from a previous blog), i would like to introduce myself. my name is rachel verhaaren and i am at this moment twenty and one quarter years old. i am a student studying photography in baltimore, maryland but i am originally from long island, new york. while my major at school is photography i also love theater, music, singing and dancing. i’ve always had an interest in fiber arts as well. this website/blog was built for me by my amazingly talented boyfriend Anthony Mattox, who also attends school here in baltimore.
while the portfolio portion of this site will mainly contain finished pieces and series pertaining to my photographic work, i hope i can be consistent enough to make the blog an outlet for looking at:
brainstorms for projects
other artists i find interesting
additional art i make that might not fit in with the work in the portfolio
events and other fun happenings!
so sit back, relax and don’t hold your breath because it might be a while until i gather some speed!
