Artist Rachelle Puccini spans the gamut of mediums. Living her life as a violinist, she has been trained in ballet and has been a visual artist all her life. As an artist she has traveled the world performing, collecting and experiencing works from around the globe. Her latest work is a fusion of her experiences as she creates large scale works on pointe shoes using ballet technique to paint on canvas. The concept behind this process is to capture the specific movement in a fleeting moment. Each work is unique and specific to when it was captured. There are no wrong moments.

I am drawn to this process because it can be so different from studying the violin where we work tirelessly in the practice room to perfect one moment on stage that, unless recorded, will not be heard again. Here in these works I can immerse myself in the concept of accepting and admiring the moment, for whatever it was, and be fulfilled. It is my hope that these large scale works evoke a feeling of peace and alignment.
