A blog of my artwork, featuring mostly painted records and mandalas, using watercolor, acrylic, oil, and ink. My art pieces are generally in the psychedelic and abstract style. I also create functional art items.

Follow my records and me in the magical land of IG
I recently made an Instagram page just for my records, and I would love for you to follow it.
You can also follow my more chaotic Instagram account, theangrykitten. It has art things, but also people things, place things, and whatever things.
Follow both! I hope to see you there. We can be instagramigos (yes, I just made that word up).

Neon skies, tiny paintings
I've been painting a few tiny Northern Lights lately! They glow under black light and are really fun. Seeing the Aurora Borealis is on my bucket list. I don't know when I'll have the means to travel to Iceland and sleep under one of those glass-roofed yurt things. But in the mean time, I'll paint them while the mood strikes.
These all have homes. But I will make more! Some of the photos show what the paintings look like under black light. WOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOO!
All of these small paintings were made by doing an abstract "poured painting" underneath with fluid acrylic techniques that included neon/black light paint. If you look closely, you can see the "cells" underneath the painting. They were then embellished with more neon paint and black paint to form the silhouette terrain, trees, and stars.

Tiny Aurora Borealis black light painting
Under black light it looks like this:
I painted a tiny painting of the Northern Lights for Django Jay. It flows under black light and is pretty effing cool, I think 😊. The under painting was a poured painting with neon paint. The northern lights were painted with more neon paint, plus black for the treescape.
It's 4" square. Big thing in small space. Molto en parvo.

Check out my new visitor world map!
Hello, fellow space travelers.
There is a new page added to this site, called "Where are You?"
Click on the header tab to see a tiny and cute animated globe that shows where you are.
Here's a shortcut link:
(*Just in case you forgot. I know there's always a time of day where I have to question where I am and what's happening.)

Green Cactus in the Summer Rain
***SOLD!***
Look at these teeny, tiny, cute-as-heck cactii! Here is a 1" x 2" Green Cactus in the Summer Rain tiny landscape, created on a durable magnet. It is resined with jewelry-grade resin and the sides are coated in copper paint.
More of my tiny Rachro Flowscapes are available if you go to my Records by Rachro facebook page. They are each available for purchase (shipping available domestically within the US), and each domino has a super strong neodymium magnet, so it will definitely and reliably hold several things up on your refrigerator at once! Those little magnets are mighty and I wanted something strong, functional, and high quality to go with my tiny flowscapes.

Purple River
This domino is so vibrant, it's hard to accurately show it with a photo. Sometimes the colors just don't translate digitally. But let me tell you: It is very PURPLE, light GREEN, and BLUE! Come into my fantasy world, where the landscape can be purple and look like colorful candy.
Each domino is available for purchase (they are each around the $8.00 US range, plus shipping and handling, and that is an incredible deal for a handmade piece of functional art!) and can be shipped domestically within the United States. If you have any questions, you can just message me on the Records by Rachro Facebook page.
Thank you for looking!

Orange Juice, Lemonade,and Limeade
This hand painted outlet cover is so juicy! It is so bright and citrus-ey in person. If you love exciting and juicy colors, this is the one. It has sort of a marble or stone look too. I just love it. It has a refreshing orange juice/lemonade sort of look

Electric Rainbow
Here is another Rachro outlet cover, hand painted by me! It is vibrant and beautiful; Even moreso in person.
Listen: Your appliances want to speak to you, and through this decorative electric outlet cover, now they finally have the means to say they don't want to be ignored or fade into the background anymore. They can now say, "Here I am. Plug me in. Turn me on, right here next to this couch."
Bland is boring. Don't be boring.

Blue Ocean and Sand
Here is a relaxing blue-themed landscape, hand painted by yours truly on an electrical outlet cover. I sort of imagined myself at a beach, standing off to the side and up a little hill, looking at pebbles and wild grass.
Here's my question: Can an electrical outlet in your living room transport you to another place and time? Yes. Yes, it can and I am proving that fact right now as you are reading this and indulging in my beach fantasy.
