Raquel Stallworth has
been creating fine art for over 15 years now, although she has not always been
exhibiting her work. “Mixed Media” is the best way to describe the materials
she works with, paint(acrylic or oil), magazine collage, metallic leaf, balsa
wood and colored pencils have all been used at one point in her work. Also, although not a material, calligraphy
elements permeates her work, as she is also a calligrapher.. She is inspired by
the visual word, culinary arts, music and dance, nature and other artists, both
realist and abstract. Mrs. Stallworth
seeks not only to create both abstract and realist pieces, but to also combine
them – this is a process which is continually “in progress”. The smooth sharp edges of something
realistically rendered against rougher edges of splashed color or collage are
what keeps her wanting to work, regardless of the subject matter.
She earned her BFA in Graphic Design from Tyler School or
Art in 1990, but didn’t begin any fine art work till the mid-90’s. She still
freelances in calligraphy and graphic design also.
Mrs. Stallworth was born in Aberdeen , Maryland, and was
raised in rural Maryland, until college when she lived in Philadelphia, PA.
Currently, she resides in Chicago, IL and lives with her husband Walter. Her
work can be seen at www.creativeshake.com/RaquelStallworth, and on FineArtAmerica.com. She is also writes a blog, “Easel and
Plate” which explores the connection between food and art,
