About

My name is Rachel Upton and I am an interior designer and fine art painter. I have a bachelors degree in Business Entrepreneurship and an associates degree in interior design from Sinclair Community College. My career in design started at Ethan Allen as a residential interior designer. I loved the mix of people that I had the chance to work with. Each project would be unique. Sometimes I would have the chance to work on a whole home design, while other times I would be selecting the right piece of furniture to compliment the clients existing pieces. In 2016 I decided to branch out and create my own interior design business. Having my own business gave me the flexibility to work on any area of the home with my clients. I am thrilled to be working at Bockrath Flooring in Centerville. I appreciate being a flooring sales consultant at Bockrath because the store owners and clientele value great design, quality products, and exceptional customer service. I am proud to be a part of a business that treats people well.

Fine art painting evolved from a hobby to a passion. I started painting in high school and then took several art courses while at the University of Dayton. I have continued to hone my fine art painting skills through years of practice. I use both acrylic and oil paints and typically work on canvases. My artwork is inspired by nature. I love to take photographs when I am outside and sometimes these moments inspire me to paint. This may include flowers when I go on walks in my neighborhood, sunsets over a gorgeous horizon in Northern Michigan, and beach scenes in Cape Cod. I take these inspiration photos back to my studio and after a quick sketch, I add layers of paint until that moment becomes a cherished memory. Painting is so special to me because it is a reflection of the joy that I see in the world around me.

I am blessed with a wonderful family. My husband Russell and I have been married since 2011. We have three beautiful daughters. Paige, Gweneth, and Joselyn are my greatest gifts. I love to see them grow. Their passion for creativity inspires me to take a moment and enjoy the beauty in our world.
