In my own words
— RachelI'm an Illustrator, designer, go-getter & sports enthusiast.
My work aims to bring people together, to help avoid racism, sexism & religious divides. My goal is to encourage viewers to be themselves. My art expresses freedom through rhythmic design, flow and harmony provided by nature.
I am told I'm a positive force to the people around me. I have an adventurous spirit that leads me to exciting places & opportunities. I am an old soul in a young body. People tell me that I make them feel like family & they remember my contagious smile long after I'm gone. Follow your flow & soul is my mantra.
