Welcome to the studio and home of artist RhMohler. Rachel and her family moved to the mountain in Sabillasville MD in the fall of 2016. Thanks to her carpenter husband, after 3 years of his hard work she was able to move into her barn studio. This is where the magic happens during non winter months.

Rachel has always been an admirer of Beatrix Potter. Her love of nature and animals, the way she could illustrate the simplest little stories and make you fall in love with everything from a prickly hedgehog to a field mouse fascinated her. The fact that she never had children of her own and that she obtained her own farm “Hill Top” at the age of 40 made Rachel fall in love with her all over again. Beatrix became a sheep farmer and painted during the winter months when things were slow.

“We bought UpTop Farm when I was just shy of my own 40th trip birthday and while we have yet to put sheep on our property due to lack of fencing, I have great plans to one day look out my window and paint them all winter.”

Rachel’s little family of five does its best to live slow and intentionally. They observe nature and try to follow her lead and celebrate the seasons and learn all we can from her.

Follow along as Rachel paints, plants and ponders the wonders around her.
