Back in 1983, she has developed a new method of art instructions based on the creative element of dreams and has produced a video called "Creative Dreams" (1986).

Rachel has exhibited many one woman shows, has participated in numerous group exhibitions and her works have been acquired by many private collectors. 
Her work deals essentially with questions of existence, humanity, suffering of the innocent and universal themes. She has created numerous series of paintings, each of which seem like separate chapters in her life. Each bears different techniques, deals with different subjects and yet all confront the same fundamental concept, the concept "Birth and Death and the Journey between them".

Rachel is also an active muralist, working with glass, ceramics and enamel.

 

In 2004 she was granted a studio in the House of Artist in Salzburg by the department of Art and Culture, In 2012 she was invited by the Municipality of Munich, Germany and was granted a three months residency in Villa Valdberta.
