ABOUT

Rachel Mairead Harreld

Throughout every experience in my life, I have found the most important thing to be expressing myself. It is essential to push myself to new limits, share my creativity, and share my thoughts and feelings. I have realized that doing these things may entail going against the grain and being bold. I strive off of and live for connections I make with other people. I love to interact, share stories, and communicate. While attending high school, I discovered I could do this not just through words but through creating images.
​
I found my love for photography at the age of 16 with the help of an exceptional photography teacher who touched my life. Since then, my passion for photography has every day continued to grow. Currently, I am a Chicago-based artist.
​
I am constantly inspired by photography and the idea of capturing one specific moment in time. It is indescribable to capture special moments in other's lives and provide for them images they can cherish forever. In my artwork and creative process, I feel the most accomplished when I produce pieces that make viewers curious. I feel as I accomplished my goal as an artist when I can involve a viewer in my images. My end goal as a photographer is to spread love and appreciation for art and inspiration.
