About the Artist:
Rachell Hester is a painter and photographer based in Monterey, CA. The natural world is a pivotal force in her artwork. Rachell explores the wooded trails in Monterey County and the Big Sur coastline with her camera, often capturing vistas that are off-limits to most people. Using film photography and alternative processes such as solarization and infrared film, Rachell spends many hours in the darkroom controlling the development of a photograph. Through this intentional distortion, she creates haunting compositions depicting scenes and marine life abstractions that don’t naturally exist.
Rachell has a BA in Visual Art from CSU Monterey Bay and an MFA in Pictorial Art from San Jose State University. Her artwork has been exhibited in the CSUMB Chancellor’s Office and in a solo show at the Pacific Grove Art Center. She received two Weston Collective awards in the Roman Loranc Fine Art Photography category several years in a row. During her Master’s studies, she was awarded the 2022 Murphy and Cadogan Contemporary Art Scholarship at SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco. She was an Artist-in-Residence at the American Tin Cannery in Pacific Grove and was a recipient of the Local Emerging Artist Program (LEAP) Grant from the Arts Council for Monterey County.

- #19, 1970s Nightclubs of Chicago South Side - Rare Vintage Silver Gelatin PrintLocated in London, GBA camera is a window through which a photographer interacts with the world, and it's up to the operator to decide whether his camera will be a barrier or a mirror between he and his subjects. In the 1970s, Michael Abramson chose the latter path when he brought his camera to Pepper's Hideout on Chicago's South Side. Following in the footsteps of his acknowledged influence Gyula Halász, a Hungarian photographer better known as Brassaï who became the pre-eminent chronicler of the Paris nightlife he loved so much, Abramson initiated himself into the nightlife of Chicago's predominantly black neighbourhoods. He was very much a part of the scene he documented on film, drinking, laughing, and dancing with his subjects into small hours and becoming as much a part of the atmosphere as the locals who frequented the same nightspots he did. - Joe Tangari (Numero Group, 2009) This series won Abramson a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1978 and launched his career as a photojournalist. Eventually the project resulted in a hardbound book, Light: On the South Side, including the Grammy and Mojo nominated album, featuring Chicago blues...Category
