Environmental Sculptor, Community Artist

Inspired by organic form, Rachel uses recycled and native materials throughout her work. These are carefully chosen to fit individual themes and include wood, stone, willow, hazel, metal, cob, and recovered materials. Her studio is currently in the Dutch Barn at Holton Lee, Dorset. She works in Dorset and London.

Rachel was one of the artists chosen to make work for the Brilliance Art Trail in central Poole that showcased on the 9th,10th and 11th of March 2012. Her two installations were created using hazel, willow and raffia. Pictures coming soon.

Recently completed work, in March 2012, includes the Central Feature Commission for the new redevelopment of Seldown Park in central Poole. Rachel created the design for this 9 metre diameter outdoor feature, based on consultations with the public and workshops with schools. For details click on www.leisureprojects.net.

Another recent work is the External Commission for the new NHS Mental Health Building in Maiden Castle Road, Dorchester. This comprises a Carved Oak Entrance Piece/Barrier as well as Carved Oak Benches and 9 Mosaic Pathway Features that were produced in workshops with mental health service users.
