Watercolor and other art by Rachel Ferrier
I last posted here with a year-end update, and I am finally back for my first post in 2023 with an update on things to come. I’m happy to say I have a few shows, markets, and projects already lined up, so I’ll get right to it: A few of the paintings, notecards, and journals… Continue reading Good News and New Projects for 2023!
The other day online, I saw a meme that said something about how we’ve all been conditioned to love summer because that’s when we had the most freedom as kids and teens, but that the season itself is actually “atrocious.” It’s really causing me to reflect on my love for summer; we’ve been lucky this… Continue reading Halloween and fall paintings
I’ve been abysmal about updating you here, and for that I apologize. The good news is, I have a plan and a tentative schedule for future updates, so with any luck I’ll have a lot more to share from here on out! My market schedule is starting to fill up, which means I’ll have more… Continue reading A little about my last market and some news about the next
I don’t know how it’s June already, but here we are. My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on June 6th (though we’ve been together much, much longer than that).

My wood slice ornaments -- I was so happy with how they turned out. The week leading up to the… Continue reading Mistletoe Market and my end-of-the-year projects
I'm happy to say that after about a two-year hiatus (thanks largely to the pandemic) I got to do an in-person market again last weekend. I had a tent up at Made Fest, which is part of Pygmalion, an annual literary and music festival in Champaign-Urbana. I honestly spent a big part of the last… Continue reading Back on the Market: Made Fest 2021
As I've mentioned, I'm all about making 2020 my year for this art business endeavor, and a big part of that for me has been realizing that I can't do it all on my own. So, out of necessity, I've been on a path to discover some cheap or free resources (hello, local library) and...… Continue reading Finding Resources to Help Your Art Business: Networking
Things I learned (and sold!) at C-U's Boneyard Arts Festival My main table at the C-U Boneyard Arts Festival I know I'm writing this weeks after the fact, but I didn't want to completely pass up the opportunity to write a little about the Fairy Tree Studios art show debut. It was kind of a… Continue reading Fairy Tree Studios’ First Art Show
Hint: It's me, obviously. I've been asked about this piece a lot, and I finally got some prints! Sized at 8" x 10" tall. I got my art prints back today, and despite it costing a bit more than I was hoping, I'm really happy with the results. Several of them have already been claimed… Continue reading Guess Who’s Participating in an Arts Festival!
