Heart Connections is a constellation of paintings, drawings, quilts, and installations that gathers the quiet stories of animals who lost their lives to our roads. Rachel treats each life as a microcosm—a bright light abruptly extinguished—deserving of witness. Through magical realism, their spirits rise, speaking through color, texture, and gesture, reminding us that our lives are interwoven with theirs in ways we often fail to see.

In architectural school, we were trained to use our eyes in a new way, to observe carefully and to consider the elements of line, proportion and composition as tools of creation. The natural world has its own set of relationships. In this show I have reenvisioned the natural world through my training and expertise and present it as I see it - a few paintings in the show depict my interpretation of places I loved on hikes in Arizona - or as it exists in my imagination. In other pieces, I have simplified and abstracted my sensibilities as an architect into color and line, hoping to engage the viewer directly on an emotional level.
