Biography
Maryland-based multidisciplinary artist Racquel Keller is inspired by a love of nature and vintage objects. She is a storyteller whose work—painting, drawing, printmaking, and assemblage—focuses on the passage of time, its effect on memories, and the resulting sense of nostalgia.
Racquel earned her B.S. in Graphic Design, with a concentration in Fine Arts, from The American University, and also holds a Certificate of Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University. She recently spent a month in France as a returning Artist-in-Residence at Chateau d’Orquevaux, where she explored the male gaze in historical paintings, reconstructing each work to reframe and reclaim the female narrative. During 2018-2021 she was an Artist-in-Residence with the City of Greenbelt, Maryland. She has been elected to attend the SnowFarm, The New England Craft Program, Residency in fall 2022 and the CAYO Residency on Eleuthera Island, Bahamas at a future date.
A two-time recipient of The Denis Diderot A-i-R Grant, she actively exhibits her work and it can be found in numerous private collections throughout the US as well as internationally.
