Rachel Lebo

Rachel grew up on the east coast in Baltimore County Maryland. She currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri working across media in painting, sculpture, and story-telling. She looks at her works as operating similarly to short stories, using color, emphasis on certain details, and characters in order to float as close as she can to the point without ever introducing a plot.

In 2019 Rachel received her MFA in visual arts from Washington University in St. Louis. She is the recipient of The Ernestine Betsberg and Arthur Osver Scholarship, a Dubinsky Scholarship to study at the Fine Arts Work Center, and Regional Arts Commission’s artist support grant. Recent solo exhibitions include Lilac Quilt at The Kling Family Gallery in St. Louis, MO, I’m Rachel, But let’s be Emily at The Foundry Art Center in St. Charles Missouri, and A Bull called Flamingo at Granite City Art and Design District in Granite City Illinois. She has been featured on/in Cool Whip, All the Art magazine and attended Jentel Residency in Sheridan, Wyoming.
