After graduating from Sunset High, she attended college at Hendrix College of liberal arts. It was there that her love for pottery and art history began. After graduating, she continued to develop her pottery skills by attending classes at Northlake College.

Now, in her Oak Cliff studio, she is always evolving, experimenting and creating unique pieces that are both beautiful and functional.  Although she uses many different media in both her teaching and personal works, she prefers to work primarily with clay.

This energetic and high-spirited artist has many qualities, skills and talents... the most enduring is her passion for teaching. Through her enthusiasm and true love of art, Rachel has been a great inspiration to countless children in the public school system. Twice recognized as teacher of the year makes that evident.
