Bio

I consider myself an artist rather than just a photographer. Much of my work is driven by a need to experiment, and I am determined to try as many photo-related tools as there are available to the creative person. I have experimented with a variety of photo-based darkroom processes, alternative printing techniques, and readily embrace the wonderful digital tools of Adobe Photoshop. I still prefer shooting with a film camera for the sheer variety that can be found in different types of both films and equipment.

Testimonial

"One senses that art is for Rachael what water is to a fish: her natural element. It isn't so much that she does art; it's that she inhabits art. This is obvious from her photography, which is a wondrous celebration of form and light. I sometimes suspect that light happily travels all ninety-three million miles from the sun with the sole purpose of illuminating a chair or a bit of fence just as Rachael passes."
