I was delighted to meet Rachel while she was an artist in residence at Medalta. I took a liking to her immediately. She's a warm person who is very open about her process. Rachel was very excited about her sphere project — now that I think about it, it's a reflection on her bubbly personality. I've been enjoying the tumbler I purchased from her.
