Meet Racheal!

What’s your educational background?
BA major in History with a minor in Fine Arts (University College of the Fraser Valley) and a B.Ed “generalist” at UBC

Why 4Cats?
I love art… and being around people creating. Working with children has also been a career focus (I enjoy the conversations and way in which children see the world) so it was a good fit.

So far, what lesson has been your favourite?
Pollock Parties are still my favourite… so much energy… no inhibitions… and great fun by everyone!

What is your favourite colour?
Red and pale turquoise but sometimes depending on my mood certain colours look very delicious.

Who is your favourite artist and why?
My list of favourites is always growing. I am constantly learning to appreciate different styles of art just by learning about the artists themselves. But I would have to say Frida Kahlo… for her strength, sense of fun and beautiful works that are so personal

What is your favourite art medium, and why?
I am a sculptural artist. I love the problem solving and planning that goes into making large sculptures stand safely and yet meet the idea as well. I am continually challenging myself with various painting techniques.
