About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Rachel Srinivasan presents a surreal portrayal of the nine of swords tarot card. A majestic and mysterious white bison remains strong as a falling blade pierces through its back. A symbol of getting through hard times and appreciating life. The bison reflects the viewer, reminding them they are stronger than they know.


About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.
