Howie is an emotionally driven artist whose work draws from fashion illustration, expressionism, and a deep knowledge of art and literature. With a background in fashion and dance, his figures often echo classical proportions with a raw, modern edge. He works intuitively with gouache, watercolor, charcoal, and pastel—favoring gesture, silhouette, and emotional intensity over perfection. For Howie, every mark carries meaning.

Yes, I am nervous and terrified but that's never a reason NOT to do something! Also mad love and respect to all the competitors! Good luck everyone!!!!

Deeply connected to her community, family, and cultural work, Rachel creates with heart, humor, and spontaneity.
