Artist Spotlight: RACHEL THORNE GERMOND

🌱Welcome Rachel to the Blue Fern Gallery!!
Rachel, a resident of Hancock, NH creates work that reflects a life-long endeavor to combine multiple creative impulses, including visual art, dance, photography, and video. Her work includes a variety of media and subject matter, including paintings, mixed media, and photographs inspired by living between urban and pastoral environments, as a document of her daily life, as well as explorations of fantasy, memory, and dreams.
Rachel has presented her visually art in New York City, Wellfleet, MA, Bisbee, AZ, and the Monadnock region. She earned a BFA in Studio Art from Cornell University’s College of Art, Architecture and Planning, and later achieved an MFA in Dance and Choreography from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her early training in art includes tutoring by her grandmother, Yankee Magazine cover artist BeaTrix Sagendorph, her mother, Dublin, NH-based artist Jane Thorne, and her father, RISD professor Russell Germond.
She often combines her visual art with live performances that include video projections, text, and choreography under the auspices of Rachel Thorne Germond Performance Collage (aka RTG Dance).
