Hello artists! My name is Rachel Kogut-Hodges, and I would like to introduce myself along with my new GCU store called Silver Mist Greetings.  Having been hooked on drawing and writing from a very young age, I am so happy to begin this journey of designing cards. I love the way a greeting card fuses images and words; capturing someone’s attention with an expressive design, and then syncing that in a personal way with a  message.  Hopefully we all brighten someone’s day through our efforts.

I feel very fortunate to live in beautiful Boulder, CO with my loving husband and our seven year old daughter. My daughter loves to paint as well, especially greeting cards! Watercolor is my favorite medium as I love the way the various watercolor techniques allow for a natural balance between control and free flowing expression.

My other interests include skating, hiking and listening to many kinds of music.  I am an avid ice skater and have taught recreational and figure skating for the past four years.  So I am looking forward to adding some designs that include skating, especially for the holidays!

Thank you to GCU and to Corrie for featuring my “Mare and Foal” design here; the lovely horses that inspired the painting live a few blocks from my home in Boulder. I look forward to meeting many of you through the forum and/or other avenues, so that we may enjoy and benefit from sharing our individual experiences.

Thank you all, for hearing a bit about me.  Enjoy your creativity and happy designing!
