TEACHER PROFILE

Rachel has been teaching figurative sculpture regularly at CCPS for the past six years with a local studio and regular involvement in many local art shows and events she has become an established artist and teacher. Much of Rachel’s work focuses on raising awareness about the environment, she uses stylised forms and poetry with a particular interest in our endangered fauna. She has created two solo shows at her supporting gallery @GalleryONE88 in Katoomba with another two shows delayed due to lockdowns and as well as being invited to contribute to numerous Central Coast Art events she runs community eco-art workshops for children at both the Terrigal Marine Discovery Centre and Kariong Eco Garden.
