Rachel primarily focuses on a bird's characteristic form, but sometimes surface texture, oxides and stains can assist identification. She is a committed member of RSPB and supports their crucial work preserving and protecting nature and biodiversity. She shares the conviction that our legacy is nature’s future.

The alchemy of flame is the final stage of what is, for her, an elemental process.
