RUNNING LATE | Rachel Mindrup
© Running Late. Rachel Mindrup. Variable print.
“As a family, we spend a good amount of time in clinical waiting rooms. There is a one specialist who is always running late. It isn't necessarily his fault, but we sometimes wonder why they even have us sit in the examination room so long before he gets there. The process of doing a variable print means that I can change colors and how much I alter the water based ink over the top of the oil based ink within the etching so each print is unique.”
Rachel Mindrup is an associate professor of drawing and painting and the Richard L. Deming, MD Endowed Chair in Medical Humanities at Creighton University. She received her BFA from the University of Nebraska - Kearney and then continued with atelier studies at the Art Academy of Los Angeles. She received her MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. Her current painting practice is about the study of the figure and portraiture in art and its relation to medicine, healing and identity. Her son's diagnosis and life living with NF has been the motivation behind her series of portraits, paintings, prints and drawings.
