Rachel Rickert is a Brooklyn-based artist whose subject matters, like Bonnard’s, are figures engaged in everyday routines and domestic rituals. These depictions express the tension between what is revealed and what is hidden. Rickert received her MFA from the New York Studio School in 2015 , and her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2012 . She was the recipient of the Mercedes Matter/ Ambassador Middendorf Award at the 2017 Alumni Invitational New York Studio School, selected by Irving Sandler, Robert Storr, and Walter Robinson. In 2017 she also received the James O’Brian Award for her work in the 60th Chautauqua Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art: 60 Works Celebrating 60 Years. Rickert has had two solo shows with E.Tay Gallery, NYC, in June 2016 and September of 2017 .
