Nohl Fellowship in 2016 and completed an artist residency in 2019 at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT.
Her work takes shape in many forms, although currently, she is interested in exploring text, language, and mark-making through written and visual mediums like collage and printmaking.

In addition to her practice as an artist, Rachel is a contributing writer for both the Chicago-based arts publication Sixty Inches From Center and the Wisconsin-based publication Artdose Magazine.
