Collection: Rachel Larson Long Collection

Rachel has been a part of the Billings, Montana Art Community for the past 20 years, participating in numerous shows and events. Originally from Bozeman, she has lived and worked in Miles City, Great Falls, the Mission Valley, and the Territory of Guam.  

Influenced by music, nature, and the inspiration of favorite contemporary artists and the Modern Masters, she creates work in a variety of media. Acrylic is her most frequent choice. 

With a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art and Art Education, and a Master’s in Art Therapy, Rachel has worked in many school settings, a family shelter, chemical dependency treatment, memory care, and other residential settings for the elderly. She has presented workshops and classes for all ages, in areas of painting, personal growth, dreamwork, printmaking, mask-making, and mixed media.  An exciting year was spent traveling Montana as the Teaching Artist for Artmobile of Montana, presenting exhibits and facilitating projects.

As an artist, educator, and Art Therapist, Rachel strives to create a balanced life which combines service to others with her own creative growth and expression.
