Q: Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing? (Question from “Bold Journey”)
Posted by barbararachkoscoloreddust

A: Yes! It’s one that has been unresolved for a few years now, but I just keep working on it. Now I have a new and valuable tool. A short documentary, “Barbara Rachko: True Grit” tells the story of my life and work. Our film recently premiered at the Newport Beach Film Festival in California, where we won the Audience Award and the Best in Category Award. You can view it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJWLy84kXI0
The online audience for my paintings keeps steadily growing. I am represented by galleries in the UK, India, Sweden, and in the US. However, I do not have commensurate gallery representation in New York City, the world’s art capital, and New York is where I live and work. I hope to change this situation very soon!

Q: What are your current aspirations?
Posted by barbararachkoscoloreddust

A: During the pandemic I was fortunate to have added three international galleries – in London, New Delhi, and Sweden – to the growing list of galleries that represent my work. (This is in addition to a gallery in Naples, FL that I have been working with for several years). It is extremely gratifying to discover that finally, after 36 years as a devoted and hard-working professional artist, galleries are seeking me out, instead of the other way around. Next I’d like to find a local home gallery in New York with whom to work. This will be the final piece of my business plan… at least for now!
