Artist from New York City, working in the Berkshires.

She has several bodies of work from different stages. Throughout these different bodies of work, she is interested in what tells a story. These pieces could be the story of a band filling up the streets of Great Barrington with music on a summer evening or a girl who has encountered a replica of herself upside down.

She enjoys exploring what can visually depict an emotional truth: the intensity that can show through depicting herself in all reds, or how it feels to watch the sky light up into a sunset. Motifs throughout her work includes reflections, the sky, and scale techniques to reflect feelings.

Rachel has a BA from Bard College, in Studio Art with a Concentration in painting. She also has a MS from Pratt Institute in Art and Design Education.
