Ladies Of Instaart Ep. 20- Rachel Elese

Rachel Elese is a joy to talk to. I think she smiled the entire time we talked and you can for sure hear that in the podcast. I really related to Rachel. We seem to be in the same spot in life. You know...young artist trying to find their way. It's nice to touch base with someone who is right there with you.

Rachel Elese Morales is an illustrator who grew up in Southern California. She started her artistic journey when she was about 4 years old. She saw a beautiful rendition of Van Gogh’s Starry Night and immediately fell in love with the arts. Currently, she is studying Entertainment Arts at Fullerton College and is in the process of transferring to a four-year university. She is also a Disney Sketch Artist at California Adventure's Animation Academy. She loves ramen, yoga and hanging out with her pup Buffy.

Rachel told me that one of her critiques was that her art didn't tell enough of a story. I think this painting really shows a great story...don't you? She really took that critique to heart and made her art better.
