Rachael Mayer

Biography

Rachael Mayer is a fiber artist based out of Boise, Idaho. During quarantine and self-isolation she has dyed thousands of yards of yarn which she will use to create her installation. Normally, this work would be inspired by travel and exterior landscapes, but Mayer has adapted to focus on interior spaces from her home environment. Pictured here is a fiber “sketch” by Mayer on the gallery wall at Surel’s Place.

BIOGRAPHY
With a BA in Anthropology & Ethnic Studies and an MFA in Studio Art, Mayer bridges her two areas of study by making work about communities, social networks, and systems. She has worked in the non-profit, research, marketing, and education fields. Mayer has interned at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, has exhibited her work across the United States, and has been published in the Surface Design Journal.
