Our Artists

Each annual release capsule features cover artworks by a single artist.

Rachel Mulder​ (2022)
Rachel lives in Portland, Oregon, with her two cats, Opal and Tomasina. She was born in rural Wisconsin and when she was small she spent a lot of time sitting in the grass staring, obsessing about animals, drooling over the nastiness of cartoons, and peeling her skin off. She vacillates between obsessive and loosey-goosey ways of working but refers to it all as Drawing. She explores many types of media, including water-soluble graphite, pen and ink, cyanotype, and her wet hair on the shower wall. She earned her BFA in printmaking at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2009, and though she indulges in the one-of-a-kind-ness of drawings, the images she makes are often tinged with a longing for printmaking in texture and feeling.
