Cornelia M. Rahmelow was born on January 20, 1943 in Mannheim, Germany. She received her schooling at the Rudolf-Steiner-Schule Hamburg, a Waldorf school. She was trained as a photographer in Hamburg and London, obtaining formal certification as a journeyman. She was especially noted for her portrait photography and credited her Waldorf education with influencing her strong sense of color, light and form. These influences were enhanced during a three-year photographer's apprenticeship served in her native Germany, during which she mastered the discipline necessary to manipulate light in order to give a surface texture, shape and depth.

Rahmelow, who immigrated to the United States in 1968, moved to Hanover, NH, in 1974. Closely connected with AVA Gallery and Art Center, her photos were frequently exhibited in group shows, and she was a loyal and active volunteer. When AVA moved from Hanover to Lebanon in 1990, Rahmelow was one of the first artists to rent a studio in the 11 Bank Street building.

The Artists' Fellowship, Inc. is a private, charitable foundation that assists professional fine artists (painters, graphic artists, sculptors) and their families in times of emergency, disability, or bereavement. The Artists' Fellowship's Board of Trustees and Officers all serve as volunteers in service to our community of artists. Assistance is given without expectation of repayment. One does not need to be a Member of the Fellowship to receive assistance; neither does membership in the Artists' Fellowship entitle one to assistance from the foundation. It cannot aid every artist who applies, nor does it award scholarship funds or "fellowships" for study, projects, art supplies, schooling, travel, or exhibitions.
