The Art Box - Episode 5 - Meet Rachelle Knight

Episode 5: Meet Rachelle Knight

Rachelle, the founding producer and co-host of The Art Box, was born and raised in Salt Lake City. She holds a degree in forest biology from Utah State University and spent the early part of her career as a wildfire firefighter for the USDA Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, as well as a botanist for the Forest Service. Later, she earned a second degree in computer science and worked as a software engineer until retiring to pursue her true passion, art.

Married with two boys and two lively Australian Shepherds, Rachelle finds joy in hiking, bird watching, reading, gardening, and volunteering. Her vibrant personality shines through in her artwork, which bursts with bright, bold colors and often features flowers, birds, and suns. She hopes her pieces bring a moment of happiness to anyone who encounters them, whether on a busy street or hanging on a wall.

A true free spirit and “hippy-girl” at heart, Rachelle draws inspiration from creatures that embody freedom. Looking ahead, she plans to explore themes of bohemian wanderlust and the joy of unbridled exploration in her art. Her stunning creations can be seen beautifying the power boxes in Mesquite, spreading her signature brightness and inspiration throughout the community.
