Newburgh-based artist Rachel Williams has been painting for over 20 years. Her work captures the quiet moments of solitude and introspection that shape our inner worlds. Each piece is a meditation on the power of introspection, embodying the fleeting yet grounding essence of solitude. Through this work, she hopes to create a sanctuary for reflection and healing, offering viewers a moment of calm and self-discovery in an otherwise chaotic world. Rachel’s work has been exhibited in Jersey City, New York City and throughout the Hudson Valley. Her paintings adorn the walls of many private and corporate art collections. Rachel studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the School of Art and Design at Alfred University and SUNY New Paltz. She is a full-time art teacher and mother of two.

“My work captures the quiet intersections between solitude, ritual, and presence. A single cup of coffee becomes more than a daily habit. It becomes a vessel for reflection, a pause in the rush of movement that defines modern life. My paintings are an ode to the small, private rituals that keep us human."
