“Whether in art or in life, it is about the process of experiencing, being in the moment, being present. As an artist one consciously communes with the very act of creation, with making ‘a knowing’, an understanding brought forth through the work itself. The practice of art births a way of being. It is a vehicle to foster and sensitize the relationship of one’s own effect of presence, and that of the ‘other’, in the world.

Art making facilitates a means to digest, to reflect and to transform information. One becomes the elemental part, the tool for the alchemy of creation itself and if attentive one receives in response valuable ideation and revelations mirrored at large in the systems and products of human infrastructure we live in and see created in life. Art harnesses a state of alert awareness. The art process is the art.”

Carolin Rechberg is an interdisciplinary Fine Artist born in Starnberg, Germany. She places most value in the multi-sensory experience involved in the process of creating, the insights they generate and how these transfer to a way of life.

Rechberg attained an Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Fine Art from the California College of the Arts, a Master of Fine Art in Drawing and Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, and a Master in Art and Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. She taught Drawing and Painting as a Teaching Assistant in her 1st Master at the San Francisco Art Institute, and Etching, Lithography, Silkscreen and Woodcut during her 2nd Master at Teachers College. Simultaneously to completing her education she managed the Printmaking Studios at Teachers College.

Carolin Rechberg’s work has been exhibited and published internationally. Rechberg works as an independent artist, offering unique artworks for sale and individual commissions for commercial, private, or public space.
