Hello There! I’m Rachel Smith, the artist and owner of Sunset Studio MN. I live and work in the heart of Minnesota lake country, Alexandria, MN. To sum up, in two simple words, what inspires my art making: Nature and Color. My paintings, photography, & jewelry are all inspired by the beauty around me; whether it be where I live everyday or through my travels. I find myself drawn to the outdoors and the colors I find there. My passion is to bring my love of everyday beauty and color into your home through my art making. I am currently working in many different areas of media including photography, painting, & handmade jewelry.
