Rachel Coyle is a contemporary artist born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts at Western Kentucky University, and is currently studying under mentorship of Carla Sanchez in Knoxville, Tennessee. 

Coyle created a body of work during her years in university that focused on darker aspects of the experience of being human, such as anxiety, anger, and fear. Since graduation, she has found herself in a transition period while studying with Sanchez. Under the guidance of Sanchez, she has been studying classical techniques in painting and drawing. With new understanding and improved technique, Coyle is now working to find her next body of work.
