Rachel lives and works in Bathurst, NSW and is represented by King Street.
She is highly regarded for the subtle geometry of her drawings of urban subjects – interiors, inner city backyards and roof tops. A devout Christian she won the Blake Prize in 1996 with a powerful drawing of the washing of Christ’s feet.
