Raychael Stine (born April 19, 1981) is an American painter and educator. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and is a professor at the University of New Mexico.[1]
Stine is known for her use of dogs as a primary subject of her paintings.[2] About this practice she states, "It's sort of illegal subject matter in the serious contemporary art world because it's really sentimental and soft, and it's not thought of as intellectual or conceptual. But figuring out how to relate to something or understand it physically and visually is like the entire process of a painting."[3]
Stine was selected for New American Paintings Issues 132, 120 and 78 where she was awarded Juror’s Pick, the New Insight Exhibition at Art Chicago, and her work was exhibited in the Texas Biennial 2008.
