Rachel Niffenegger uses curious and experimental media to create interior psychological portraits. Rooted in expanded painting her specters are pulled from the folds of psychedelic clay, spiraled through mirrored metal work and meticulously rendered in colored pencil from an archive of visions conjured in concert with generative technologies. Her work has been included in museum shows at the Museum for Modern Art in Arnhem, the Netherlands;  the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; and in gallery shows in New York, Berlin, Chicago, Liverpool, Denver, and Milwaukee, among others. Niffenegger, born in Evanston in 1985, received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Rachel attended the de ateliers residency in Amsterdam NL in 2011. She is represented by Western Exhibitions in Chicago and lives and works in Chicago.
