"I'm interested in creating wearable environments that inspire and provoke us to continue moving and evolving. "Beauty to me is only 1% visible, the rest is a spirit phenomenon that happens as we embody creativity. This is the 'beauty' I want my clothing to speak of, it's not a dead aesthetic." Rachael continues to pursue her love for the the visual arts and is an active working artist and illustrator. She also teaches Fashion Illustration part time at the Fashion Institute, Salt Lake Community College. She continues to collaborate with other talent on creative projects and uses her love for the arts and fashion to share creativity, compassion and awareness globally and in her own community.
