Hi, I'm Rachel - an artist and naturalist with a love for flora and fauna from around the world. I have a particular fondness for hidden beauty - like insects with intricate colors and patterns, pastel-hued fish that go about their lives in almost complete darkness, and elusive animals like wild cats and skittish birds.  

Made with love in San Francisco, California.

Why Draw Insects??

Insects feature prominently in my art! I work in the entomology department at the California Academy of Sciences and have fallen in love with the patterns, colors, and details that can be found on even the smallest insects. They are universes in miniature. Some insects are familiar - monarch butterflies, honeybees, and ladybugs - but there are millions more species on the planet. More than one person could know in a lifetime. One of my biggest joys is discovering them for myself and sharing them with others.
