"When I look at your artwork I form a picture in my mind and that word is elegant. Meeting the artists is a special honor that many others are not privy to and I use that knowledge when looking at their beautiful creations. "The Pigeon Hole" stimulates so many thoughts but ultimately you turned something old and worn into a jewel." ~ Jane Weinke, Curator of Collections at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. (Rachelle's painting was purchased for the Museum's Permanent Collection)

Rachelle's painting, That Adorable Age is featured inside of the Arturi-Phillips book, Dictionary of Miniature Painters 1870-1970. This dictionary, which lists over 2300 miniaturists, (mostly historical British), includes just a handful of living miniaturists and only four who are currently working post-1970.

The Siegrists and their artwork has been featured in museum publications and highlighted on museum websites including:

Wes worked as a freelance illustrator/ designer from 1984 until 1999 doing logos, ads, type-setting and silk-screen T-shirt designs. He worked as an intern at Gospel Publishing House from 1987-1988 and at a Sebring, FL Ad Agency in 1990. He was also an editorial cartoonist/caricaturist from 1984 until 1995 although he's still known to poke fun at friends even today!

"Miniature paintings are hard to judge because they inevitably do not make the same immediate impression as larger works of art. It is easy to breeze by without really stopping to look closely. Sometimes, a closer inspection goes un-rewarded because the artist has spent so much energy on painting small, that he or she has failed to give much thought to the overall composition. This is not the case with Siegrist's painting "The Flirt", which is amazing because it is so small, yet so well done. The color and composition are surprising and definitely reward a closer look." ~ Dr. Adam Duncan Harris, Curator of Art at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
