She began painting using traditional oil paints on canvas in 2006.

Over the years she refined and honed her technique, always aspiring to capture the detail with great accuracy. In 2015, Rachel emigrated from England to a small village in the foothills of the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria, surrounded by stunning scenery which is teeming with wildlife.
