Raquel Egosi began painting in 1996 while residing in Brazil, where she
studied with the internationally known artist, Tran Tho, and attended a
variety of painting classes. She also conducted and organized art shows
while living in Brazil.
Raquel's body of work primarily consists of mixed media painting, with a style that ranges from realistic to abstract. She enjoys experimenting with new methods and is continuously looking to introduce various other mediums into her
paintings, including liquid colors, eggshells, gold leaf and lights. It is a
unique style that is fresh and constantly evolving.
Raquel arrived in Miami in 1999 and has studied with the late Lee Willig, at
the Artworks School, and with Anne Lemos, at the University of Miami.
As a member of the One Ear Society in Coconut Grove, Raquel's work has frequently been selected, exhibited and sold at the OES's Mayfair gallery, through its monthly- juried shows. She has also had her work exhibited at the Florida Museum of Hispanic & Latin Art and the Miami Jewish Museum.
In 2003 Raquel moved to Tarpon Springs, Florida, and continued to attend classes with Paul Foropoulos and at the Art Center in Dunedin where she exhibits her works on a constant basis.
Raquel joined the 1212 Club in 2006 and is very active there.
As a member of the Tarpon Spring Art Association, Raquel participates in their juried shows, and won an Honorable Mention for one of her works.
In 2007 Raquel participated in the exhibition of Clearwater La Leche League, where her work was sold.
On February 2008 Raquel was voted the Artist of the Month by both Tarpon springs Art Association, and Dunedin Creative Art Guild.
