Rachel Nelson Artist & Art Therapist

"Meaningful. Unexpected. Deeply impactful. Creative. Intuitive. Fun!! These are some of the words that come to mind that describe my experience of art therapy. You can stop wondering if art therapy is for you. It is. Just try it. You’ll be in very good hands with Rachel."

"I had a wonderful experience working with Rachel in an introductory encaustic workshop. I really love her work and her intuitive approach to creating fit very well with my process. Rachel was encouraging and knowledgeable regarding encaustic techniques and skills. The workshop price was accessible and the materials provided were incredibly generous--lots of time for us learn by doing. So much fun...I would recommend her to anyone interested in the creative process!"

"We took Rachel's encaustic class as a family group and it was SUPER fun! I had never done encaustics before but got to leave the class with 2 really cool pieces that I now have hanging at my house. :) Rachel is a great teacher. Highly recommend."

"Our family did an encaustic workshop with Rachel. We had a wonderful time learning about the medium and actually learning things about each other. I would highly recommend this for families and friend groups looking for an art experience in Tucson."
