Excerpted quote:

Rachel Brask, a fairly new artist at SoWa, said she enjoys the community it creates. She designs paintings that she calls “rain art” and has felt the support not only through SoWa, but with Boston art-enthusiasts.

“I’ve had more access to interact with the public, than I would just in my home studio,” said Brask.

She never thought art would become the centerpiece of her life. With her unwavering support at SoWa, she has never felt more confident in the path of her life. 

“I’ve sold some paintings that I didn’t think would sell because I kept them in a closet, but everyone loves different things,” said Brask.
