Rachel Stein is an artist and educator based in Baltimore, Maryland. The core of her art practice deals with human impact on the natural environment. Through a sustainability framework, she juxtaposes the body, the landscape, and plastic. She invites viewers to question their own consumer reality and relationship with pleasure through sensory stimuli.
Rachel Stein is currently working towards her MFA in Studio Art at Maryland Institute College of Art. She is a recipient of the Leslie King Hammond Award Fellowship and the MAEA Secondary Educator Award. Her work has recently been exhibited at Riggs Gallery and Sleepwalker Collective in Baltimore, Maryland.
