Rachel Wolf specializes in camera-less photography, alternative/antique processes, and immersive environments through light-based installations. Born and raised in Alaska, Wolf's work is deeply influenced by the profound presence and absence of light in her surroundings. Her direct experience of the aurora borealis instilled in her a deep appreciation for the transcendent and embodied qualities of light, which has since become her muse and the focus of her artistic practice.
As a professor and speaker, Wolf loves to inspire others by sharing her passion for light and photography. Wolf believes in the power of art as a collaborative endeavor that builds communities, and this belief led her to co-found FO(u)RT Collective, a multi-disciplinary arts collective that creates and curates exhibitions and events, fostering artistic camaraderie.
Wolf's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including in Germany, Hungary, Canada, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Seattle, and Portland. Her photographs are held in both public and private collections. Wolf earned her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art.
