It was a pleasure to finally meet Rachel in person. (She had been kind enough to express ship some paintings to the gallery in late August for 'Things With Wings'. )
Rachel gave me a wonderful selection of new paintings to take with me back to the gallery...some more 'winged things' and a few still life paintings!

I love Rachel's work - beautiful and powerful in their juxtaposition of delicate imagery with rich patterns and texture.
