Raychael Stine (b. 1971, Chardon, OH) lives in Albuquerque, NM, where she teaches painting and drawing at the University of New Mexico. She received her BFA from University of Texas, Dallas and her MFA from University of Illinois, Chicago. Stine makes luscious, joyful paintings that integrate a variety of painterly languages and approaches to mark, texture, and levels of visual legibility, allowing for playful slippage between formal and material abstraction and traditional devices of painterly representation. Stine has exhibited at Emma Gray HQ Five Car Garage (LA), Eugene Binder (Marfa, TX), Richard Levy (Albuquerque, NM), Art Palace (Houston), L.A. Louver (Venice, CA) Rhona Hoffman (Chicago), Smoke the Moon (Santa Fe, NM), The Valley (Taos, NM), 1969 Gallery (NY) and others. Her work has appeared in New American Painting, NewCity, Glasstire, NY Arts Magazine, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, and Southwest Contemporary.
