Rachel Bailit and Ron Schmidtling share a common philosophy: Life should inspire art and art should inspire life! Rachel is an actress & model, and Ron is a visual artist. A creative match, they began a collaboration that has lasted over ten years. Rachel and Ron met in a drawing group at The Getty Museum in 2011. Both actively involved in the LA underground and commercial art scene, they began to collaborate, meeting in galleries, museums, art schools, and unconventional art spaces. Inspired by friendship and a shared love for movie characters, nature, and the diversity and richness of LA, their works represents artistic freedom, imagination, and limitless possibilities. Rachel and Ron also examine the sacred relationship between artist and model, which requires commitment, trust, and a shared vision. It also explores body image within a Hollywood backdrop where voluptuous bodies are often objectified and stereotyped. The exhibit is a multi-media experience, including paintings, drawings, photography, video, and costumes.

Ashley M. Patton is a PhD candidate in the department of Art History and holds a minor in Early Modern Studies. Her research interests include early modern Italian sculpture, gender, religion, and materiality. Her dissertation project, titled "Tangible Women: Marble Sculptures of Female Saints in Seventeenth-Century Rome," explores the construction of early modern gender in post-Tridentine Rome by examining how sculptors employed different typologies of white marble sculpture in sacred spaces to present archetypal, yet largely inimitable models of the early modern, ideal Christian woman. She is also interested in the global impact of early modern Catholicism, including the trans-Atlantic relationships between Italy and the Americas in the seventeenth century. Ashley is currently the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation Curatorial Intern in the department of Sculpture and Decorative Arts at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Prior to her doctoral studies, she worked at the J. Paul Getty Museum as a Graduate Intern and the Getty Research Institute as a Research Assistant. She has also contributed to multiple museum exhibitions, including “Turkish Rugs on Tudor Walls: 16th Century Trade between England and the Islamic World” at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and “Albrecht Dürer: Master of the Black Line” at the Huntington Library.
