I create mixed media bead paintings using the Huichol beadwork technique of pressing seed beads in a wax adhesive layer. The technique is very meditative for me—it also taps into my ADHD super power to hyper-focus, but that’s another story. 🧘‍♂️ #queerartist #mosaic #ADHD #hyperfocus #beads #timelapse

I’ve just started working on the last piece in my new collection

Thank you. His name is Dodger. Named after the Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist. He was found on the street as a puppy—a little orphan. He’s a fan of squeaky balls, lining things up and indulging in comfort. ☺️

I’ve recently begun to mix sculpting with mosaic bead painting. This video offers a glimpse into my process using paper clay to create feathers for a mixed media piece in my newest collection. #rachelyoungart #mixedmedia #detail #feather

I didn’t consider myself an artist until I was 50. I had already been showing art in galleries mostly at group shows. I just couldn’t conceive of myself as an artist. Not until I read this quote. From then on, I was an artist.

Hello. I’m a mixed media bead artist, making my way to Bluesky from Meta in Portland, OR. It’s time.
