about.

Rachel F. Stephens is a minister, retired educator, wife, and mother of three adult children, grandmother of six, published author, and the owner of “A Holy Portion” Art Gallery in downtown Fairmont, NC.

Her love for art was apparent in her early childhood.  As a little girl, she often did her version of family portraits and eagerly awaited a rainy day to create sculptures from the fresh mud.  During her schools days and professional career, her creative input was always solicited in major decorative projects.  Also, her paintings and drawings serve as an influential part of the focused concepts in her published books.

In today’s show, “Out Of Africa”, the pieces presented today are of mixed media. It is my hope that one’s interest would be sparked in understanding what the continent of Africa has to offer both visually and culturally.
