About the Artist
The Artist
Rachel Johanningsmeier graduated Magna Cum Laude with her B.A. in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Her experience since as a restaurant worker and serving on the Tri State Sculptors board as the social media chair has shaped how she approaches the community with her work. In conjunction with gallery exhibitions across the state, she creates artistic process videos and curates creative events with local businesses.
The Artwork
Johanningsmeier recreates the female body in her work, telling visual stories of its strength, fluidity, and spirit. She participated in activities like gymnastics, dance, and swimming that today inspire her figurative work and its focus on movement, energy, and expression. These elements collide with her interest in psychology to generate artwork that celebrates how remarkably human we are.
