Ceramic piece: Facing My BackThis piece addresses the scars on my back that are from the extensive tumor removals and resections. The scars represent all of the healing and trauma that has gone on within my body-emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually-since being diagnosed for the first of three times.

Rachel, wow. I cannot believe it's been a couple years already since I first met you in our advising session. I am so proud of you and your work! Congratulations on graduating this weekend! I will be there working. :)
Those are fantastic pieces of art and even more powerful because they are so personal! Love the dragonflies!
Congratulations on graduating and all the best for grad school (how exciting!!!)
