Hi there!
I'm so glad you're here! I'm Rachel, the artist and designer of Rachel Ai Studio! I currently reside on the beautiful island of O‘ahu with my amazing husband and our pets, Mitsy, Mattis, and Mango!
In college, I painted my first watercolor home portrait for my Japanese grandparents - the very house I spent every summer growing up in! From there, more and more people started asking for house portraits, marking the start of this journey of becoming a full-time artist! I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in Advertising. I now get to pursue my dream, expanding my art business everyday while painting special memories for so many. From portraiture to wedding paper, I absolutely love working with clients to bring their vision to life in art. Everyday I pinch myself that this is my career!
I find my inspiration in the sunshine, florals, and being in the ocean. Outside of my studio, you can definitely find me at the beach or exploring the island!
I can't wait to chat with you, and hopefully paint some beautiful memories for you to cherish for years to come! Let's bring your paper dreams to life together!
Cheers!
- Rachel Ai
