When not creating new instillations, she teaches Art part-time at the prestigious Parsons Paris, The New School.

With a background in dance performing for the Oklahoma City Ballet, and a BFA from Oklahoma State University, Rachel moved to Paris in 2010 to study at the l’Ecole Supérieure d’Art et Design of Grenoble France, where she received an MFA in 2013. Combining her talents she transposes her performances and installations, using dance as a foundation for her artistic expression.

"My work looks at the relationship between nature and humanity. Art is a powerful way to reach people because it can touch one's emotions and educate and change perspectives.”
