WHAT WE DO
We are Rachel Rodi and Guy Fuerte - a husband and wife artist team. We design and create public art and site-specific mosaic installations, murals and sculpture for businesses, homes and public spaces. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have created more than 70 art installations throughout the United States and abroad. We work closely with designers, architects, builders and diverse communities to design art that becomes integral to a site, and meaningfully connects with a community or location.
ABOUT RACHEL RODI
Originally schooled as a painter and ceramic sculptor, Rachel Rodi has been a practicing artist for over twenty five years. Prolific in her work, Rachel draws inspiration from the natural world, subtleties of color and light, organic forms, culture, and place. She strives to evoke a sense of positive power and possibility through her artwork, and further connect people to each other and their environment. Rachel has designed and created architectural mosaics since 2006, including large scale murals, sculptures, water features and plazas, where she expertly fuses her painterly aesthetic, sculptors sensibility and technical skill into moving works of art.
ABOUT GUY FUERTE
Guy Fuerte is a Hawaii born artist specializing in large-scale, site-specific installations, custom mosaics and designing mixed media sculpture. Guy’s art is fluid and fueled by spontaneous inspiration and a quick imagination. His father’s macro photography was an early influence where he learned as a child to seek out inspiration in the unexpected and overlooked. Being raised in both rural Big Island, and urban Honolulu, Hawaii provided Guy with a rich, deeply culturally diverse upbringing in a community oriented environment. His art reflects this heritage which provides him with a unique world view centered in the creative collective. Guy is experienced in a wide range of fields including woodworking, photography, marquetry, tile, and glass and brings a fresh perspective and tremendous creative skill to any project.
