Rachel Epp Buller is a Ph.D.’d feminist-art historian-printmaker-mama of three whose recent art and scholarship speak to this perpetual balancing act. She has lectured and published widely on issues of motherhood and the maternal body in contemporary art and returned to printmaking in 2007 after a ten-year hiatus. Through both writing and prints, she seeks to define some overlap between her personal and professional worlds. Some of her multitasking career hats include being a regional coordinator for The Feminist Art Project and a part-time assistant professor of art at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas.
Hi Rachel,
Thanks so much for getting in touch with me and your interest in the project. As a creative person myself, it is so exciting to learn about other artists, what they do and how they do it, and I would definitely like to collaborate with you on this project. I reviewed your website and absolutely love your print works and how your mind just seems to wander through each piece. Plus, I can really identify with your journey as an artist and a mama.
If you are interested in being featured, I need a few things from you:
- Please send three photos (preferably one of you, two of your work) to the email address i left above. Try to choose clear, interesting photos.
- Please answer the following questions (doesn’t have to be in order, just try to send me something that covers these bases):
*Name/Location
*Education
*Current City/Hometown
*Tell me about your work in one sentence.
*Describe your normal day. What would your *ideal* day be like?
*What are your passions?
*What are your goals?
*Who are your creative influences?
*Are there any other relevant experiences that shaped who you are today and what you do?
*Is there anyone (celebrity, dead, alive, in your life) that you really look up to as an inspiration?
*What motivates you on a daily basis? Do you have a “guilty pleasure” that you can’t miss out on to get you going?
*What’s your working style? Do you work for 12 hours straight nonstop, or do you take lots of breaks?
*What are your websites/social networking links?
Please become a follower of my blog and a fan on my FB fan page and we will both spread the word when your feature runs!
Thanks, and I look forward to learning more about you through your interview.

Hello Rachel! I haven’t had a chance to speak with you during our Artist Inc. seminars, but I hope to in the future. So far, I have found everyone very interesting. Even though my website is still waiting to be updated, I have listed above.
