Rachel has long been passionate about creating new, beautiful things. She began her career as an artist building tables and went on to study woodworking at the Oregon College of Arts and Crafts.

Her map paintings are created with found maps and layers of transparent paint and ink on wood panels. Each one is named after a location on the map and framed with handmade wood frames.

Rachel continues to explore a number of themes with her paintings. Many of her current works resonate a sense of loneliness filled with the simple beauty in the spare and innocent scenes of everyday life. Rachel is a full time artist living in Portland, Oregon.
