Port Washington artist brings nature to life in new exhibit
Larissa Fuentes, Long Island Press, December 1, 2025
“Step into Rachelle Krieger’s latest exhibition and you might find yourself wandering through a dreamscape where fireflies, stars, and flowers blur together in glowing swirls of color. The Port Washington artist’s “Day Dreams and Night Visions,” on view at the Adler Gallery in the Port Washington Public Library through Jan. 4, invites visitors to explore both the natural world and the landscapes of imagination.”
Rachelle Krieger: Of Earth and Sky
Jeffrey Grunthaner, WhiteHot Magazine, April 9, 2018
“What makes Krieger's works contemporary, and what makes them unique, is the way she blends perception and mediation. The image of the planetary world, our collective experience of distance and time, has changed in the wake of scientific discovery. Krieger's paintings keep abreast of this, reconfiguring the landscape tradition to reflect not only what we perceive in nature, but what we know about the dynamic processes underlying natural law.”
Rachelle Krieger: Skirmishes Between Invisible Forces
Sharon Butler, Two Coats of Paint, April 2, 2018
“For Krieger, a rock is just a rock, a tree is just a tree. Her interest lies in the invisible skirmishes that occur outside our vision and beyond our control. Indeed, without them, the earth would be a less compelling, lifeless place.”

"It takes a pretty bold person to attempt to capture the sky. And a pretty humble artist to catch it. It’s a gentle balance and it is the aim of this painter who uses sumi-e ink and watercolors, drawing, scraping and scratching at the boards that host her exploration of surrealism: 'I’m trying to get a little lyrical.' Her work has been primarily about nature, grouping series in periods of a couple of years to a handful, but it is the recent shifts in technique and approach that have brought a new direction to her renderings."

Rachelle Krieger's Poetic Paintings
Marsha Ralls, Blog Salon, March 2013
“Krieger questions the nature of perception and reality. It’s landscape, nature, and the outdoors but she is also after something more. She thinks about time, as well as positive and negative space. She states that something that can seem the most insignificant can have something beautifully hidden and then be revealed in the act of painting.”

“New York artist Rachelle Krieger is fresh from her solo show at VOLTA NY, where Susan Eley Fine Art featured her recent paintings and ceramics. Her latest work is called “These In-between Days,” an ongoing series of mixed media paintings and works on paper. Her style is enthusiastic with powerful colors, mainly painted in acrylic and spray paint. We talk about how her art can be inspired by literally everything, including invisible forces.”
Rachelle Krieger - A Child’s Sense of Wonder
Greg Dowler-Coltman, Ellipses Thinking Podcast, February 2025
“Joyful, curious and optimistic by nature? Absolutely! New York based artist Rachelle Krieger firmly believes that there is something to learn in all situations and through her bold and vibrant, colour-filled and playful visual art she expresses her ever present wonder with the world unfurling all around us.
Her work recently exhibited in a collection described by curator Charles A. Riley II as "devoted to the theme of making the invisible energy of nature visible", was in Krieger's words, a "form of meditation". Whether capturing singular moments of life in her plein art studies, inviting her wildly imaginative night dreams to splash magically across a canvas, or reflecting biodiversity and vitality through capturing natural elements in various stages of life in her newest medium of ceramics, one thing is undeniable. Rachelle Krieger's art is boundless!.”
