Conch Shell candle & photography: Ecuador. – Rachel Nova I finally made the huge conch shell into a candle! I was given this conch shell (and a big hug!) by a restaurant owner in Same, Ecuador as a dear gift upon leaving.

Hi 👋🏾

I am an artist.

I am pleased to meet you!

My name is Rachel Nova. Nova became like an artist alias (the name was birthed 13 years ago and I sewed it into my soul ever since) due to how my paintings looked back in art school when I was working on my BFA in painting & drawing. I got into such a flow toward the end of my BFA with the work I was creating and I really found myself as an artist.

My paintings resembled the cosmos or supernovas. They were like states of consciousness but somehow really grounded in such an earthly way allowing them to naturally change as I also grew and changed. In ways, my paintings represented my internal state and were spiritual experiences for me.

Later on, as I grew, I began to channel other people’s energy, essence, or what kind of energy they were needing in the paintings that I commissioned for others. When I paint I feel free. I connect to something bigger than me. I stretch my spirit and dance with myself. Painting is my happy place, my safety, my temple. Being an artist to me is a gift I was born with. Being an artist to me is healing, informative, intuitive, and ever-changing. I hope my paintings inspire and touch you as much as they do when I make them.
