Rachael Warner was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and came to Brooklyn in 1996 where she attended Pratt Institute, obtaining a BFA in 2001. She continues to live and work in Brooklyn.

Rachael's paintings aim to expand the visibility of diverse identities and address ever-present taboos and stigmas by putting a face to the unfamiliar. Her portraits are bold and colorful, playfully celebrating the unapologetic sense of self in her subjects.
