About Chic Chaos

Where chaos and elegance coexist beautifully. 

Chic Chaos is the brainchild of California-born artist Rachael Rodriguez, a mixed media creator with a lifelong love for art and a fascination with the natural world. Rachael’s journey began in childhood with sketchbooks full of drawings and easels full of paintings, which grew into a career in graphic design. But it was her time living in Vancouver, British Columbia that gave rise to the abstract works she creates today.

Her art lives at the intersection of raw energy and emotion. Each piece begins as a hand-sketched composition that is then brought to life on canvas. The paintings are acrylic paint and gold leaf, creating a tactile fusion of physical artistry. This hybrid process is uniquely her own—a true reflection of her artistic voice.

With bold forms, layered textures, and emotive color palettes, Chic Chaos captures the tension and harmony of life’s contradictions. It’s edgy and delicate. Wild and elegant. Intentional and free.

Rachael’s art isn’t just made to be admired—it’s made to make a statement. To live on walls as conversation pieces. To bring energy and emotion into spaces. To feel like the finishing touch in a home that’s lived-in and loved.

Her collectors are art lovers with taste and edge who appreciate the power of abstraction. If that’s you, welcome to the chaos.


Meet the Artist

Rachael currently lives in Vancouver with her wife of 21 years and their sweet dog, Maddie. When she’s not creating, she’s likely chasing beauty in all its forms—whether hiking on a forest trail, catching a sunset at the beach or enjoying small, beautiful moments with her family and friends.
