Chapter 01 | Out Of Nothing
"I began with nothing..or at least I thought I had nothing. I didn't have enough money to comfortably invest in a business, not a big enough social media following, not enough capacity, not enough stability.
Yet, from this space of "nothing", I created something..."
The Story Continued...
"...In a very literal sense, I began creating artwork using negative space to reveal emotionally charged images. First I started with POSCA paint pens while talking about my struggles with anxiety with my therapist. Then I experimented with more complicated shapes while simutaniously using art to cope with overwhelming social interactions. Next, I began creating more detailed images with negative space during moments of overwhelming autism and parenting challenges.
Finally, the four artworks within this first collection were born, and along with them, my dream of turning my creative passions into a way of providing financial support my family in a way that serves my wellbeing.
This chapter is just the begining. Thank you for being a part of it."

Struggling to balance the challenges that come with being autistic, having ADHD, healing from trauma, and being a single mother to a beautiful little girl, Rachel decided in 2025 to leave her 9-to-5 office job and become a full-time artist. She is now learning how to prioritize her well-being and end the burnout cycle that she and many other neurodivergent individuals experience from traditional corporate work. Her mission is to fall in love with life again and to inspire other creatives to take the leap towards dreams that truly support their wellbeing, something she calls A Rebellious Art.
