Rachel Shuler's Spring Open Studio Day

0:00Wes Hartford artist Rachel Schuller is throwing open her studio doors for Spring Open Studio Day, this Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Her paintings dive into hidden everyday wonders using metal leaf to play with real light effects while her handcrafted jewelry pulls from ancient symbols for deeper vibes. You'll find finished pieces up for grabs including special deals on select works during the event. It's a chance to snag interactive art that ships with the light mimicking nature's glow right in your space. Schuller's work pops up in spots like Store 52 in West Hartford Center, plus shows at places such as the Farmington Valley Art Center and New. Britain, Art League, across Connecticut and New England. She swapped a UK science background for full-time art after moving to the US in 2006, landing in Connecticut in 2018 to build her practice. Now, after a winter grind, she's previewing fresh collections including stuff headed for 2026.
