Rachel is an artist currently living in Bellingham, Washington. Rachel has always been driven to share their curiosity and concern for the natural world with others. They are influenced heavily by a background in biology and ornithology, and use academic research, field observations, and outreach to the scientific community to inform their work. Rachel earned their BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in painting from Western Washington University in 2021. Rachel also earned a BA in Art and a minor in Biology with Honors in 2020. When not creating art, they can be found leading birdwatching hikes, singing in the university's treble a capella ensemble, listening to audiobooks, and spending time outdoors.
