Artist Statement
I work in a variety of mediums because life is too short for limits.

Color is the foundation of my work in all mediums. After color the story emerges.

Exploring surface possibilities and the  abstracted elements of the digitized photo  to arrive at an image that has tactile depth  has resulted in a new journey of intaglio monoprinting. An etched plastic plate becomes another layer of the image  from the finished photo print. It  was my goal to explore this during three weeks of intensive work  in the studios of Mauro Corbani, located in Scarlino, (GR), Italy in September of 2009.

Artist Biography
Rachel Citrino was born and educated in Philadelphia. Her studies include drawing, painting, and sculpture  at Fleisher Art Memorial, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and The Clay Studio and psychology at Temple University.  Her studio is located in South Jersey where she offers studio classes and workshops for  in drawing, painting and clay.  A residency program for artists and writers seeking a   country retreat setting is offered year round.  Visitors are welcome  to Villa Roadstown by prearrangement  for day visits or weekend stays to lead or participate in workshops. Her annual  workshops conducted in Italy include cultural and language immersion as well as artistic projects. 

An autodidactic and  independent artist who has over thirty years of exhibitions, Citrino is affiliated with the Da Vinci Art Alliance, Tri-State Artists Equity, Philadelphia Sculptors and Philagrafika. Her work has been included in Amici d’Italia collection at the National Museum in Warsaw and the Philadelphia Museum of Art Duchamp archives.
