is a Montclair-based multidisciplinary artist. While she primarily focuses in ceramics and textile art, she also has love for beadwork, watercolor painting, illustration, and cyanotype photography. All of her pieces, despite the medium, are inspired by femininity, floral patterns, and color.

She is interested in drawing close connections between the distinct fields of textiles and ceramics. Influenced greatly by clothing and the flexibility of textile materials, her ceramic work is often inspired by the softness of fabrics and feminine figural forms. Using processes of research and design, she strives to create intelligently functional ceramic works. While fabric and clay have vastly different properties, they are united often under their quality of usefulness. Both clay and fabric can be manipulated to create new, functional forms, designed with pure purpose and attention to aesthetics.

Rachel is also a graphic designer and public school art educator. She has a B.S. in Visual Arts from SUNY New Paltz (2019) and an M.A. in Fashion and Textile Studies from FIT (2022).
