I am a muralist and an arts educator/facilitator residing in the Eastman region of Manitoba.  I am passionate about making art that inspires and engages the public, and that visually enhances public spaces.  I administers group mural projects within communities that speak of my strong commitment to making art accessible as a tool for self-expression and healing. My work through the Artists in the Schools program brings me from school to school throughout Manitoba, working with students throughout the research, design and creation of murals to beautify their schools. Mosaic is another art-form I enjoy and have been incorporating into my artwork and community Projects.  I have facilitated several community and school mosaic projects that are both beautiful and functional. Using largely discarded materials, these mixed media mosaics bring communities together in the collaborative creation of tactile art for their schools and communities.

A chemistry major turned artist, Rachel's fascination with the science of materials led her to ceramics. She approaches her art with a scientist’s precision and an artist’s intuition, experimenting with glazes and firing techniques to produce unique textures and finishes. Her studio has become a creative lab where art meets science.
