Rachel is currently in Switzerland as the artist in residency at the Forum de Meyrin to prepare her next installation. Her most recent monumental project, SYMFOLIA was at the Cité de la Musique for the Olympic Cultural Program for Paris 2024.

Rachel has a Bachelor of Fine Art (2010) in Drawing and Painting from Oklahoma State University and a Master of Fine Art (2013) from l’Ecole Supérieure d’Art et Design of Grenoble, France. She is also a tenure professor at Parsons Paris for the last seven years.

Rachel’s work investigates the relationship between nature and humanity. Her practice explores how trees thrive together within the forest community primarily through site specific large scale installation and performance, as well as sculpture, painting and drawing.  Her materials consist mostly of abandoned books and paper, metamorphosing back to their natural source.  Her goal as an artist is to bring public awareness to nature’s complexity and beauty to promote preservation. 

Her works and performances are regularly shown in France as well as internationally. Grand Palais in Paris, Fondation Martell in Cognac, Today Art Museum in Beijing, Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York, Kobe Art Project in Japan Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris, Casa Amarela in Rio de Janeiro, Strano Film Festival in Abruzzo, Italy, Spring Break Art Show in New York, National Sawdust in New York, Gallery U10 in Belgrade, Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura in Tijuana, Gallery Gong in Seoul…
