Rachel’s work has appeared in numerous publications, and in 2010, her series Field Notes was included in Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50. Rachel was an artist-in-residence at RayKo Photo Center in summer 2014, culminating in a solo show. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in addition to art, she works from an 8×15 foot office built on a flatbed trailer teaching dyslexic and homeschooled children.

PhotoEye@NVC is a quarterly photo lecture series organized by the Napa Valley College Photography Department featuring in-person presentations by noted photographers and other contemporary image makers in which they are invited to share their ideas and artistic practices with students and the general public.
