Rachael Bower is a ceramic artist based in McKinney, TX. Her ceramic work embodies a subtle, otherworldly aesthetic with a nod toward minimalist abstraction. Rounded edges, curves, and spheres follow feng shui principles, ensuring a harmonious energy flow around each piece.
Utilizing a combination of construction techniques, such as wheel throwing, hand-building, and slip casting, her pieces have a refined, handmade quality. Throughout her collections are peacefully soft, matte, monochromatic color stories along with neutral hues and modern touches of black. Bespoke glazes are made from scratch in tiny batches specifically for each piece, guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind appeal. Unconventional surface textures, such as craters, humps, and grooves, are delightfully butter-smooth, offering a surprising invitation to touch and hold each piece.
Inspired by metaphysics and themes such as cosmic moonscapes, deep sea treasure hunting, and mermaid palace vibes, her creations seek to exude a subtle yet rebellious beauty.
