Bachelor Fine Arts – High Distinction Quay School of Fine Arts 2003
Master of Maori Visual Arts - First Class Honours 2016

This year Magpie comes to you in the form of an eclectic home based studio.
Rachael continues her art making in printmaking and painting, and more recently in 3D construction and mixed media works.
She has participated in numerous group and solo shows throughout New Zealand, and has work in many private collections both nationally and overseas.
She is Mum to 3 boys. She often stands on sharp bits of stray lego with bare feet by mistake.

Rachael's artwork is often an amalgamation of the real and the imagined.
Recurring themes are magpies, dolls, and objects from her domestic realm alongside more fantastical, dream-like imagery and symbolism.
They are often strong narratives about domestic life, motherhood and personal history.

Mediums: Clay works, Drawing, Mixed media materials, Painting, Printmaking, Recycled/Upcycled Artworks, Wood works
