Some of your artwork is named after fashion designers like Missoni and Givenchy. How does fashion inform your work?
Rachel: "I'm inspired by textile design, the use of color, and the way fabric moves. Whenever I look for painting inspiration, I always look at Missoni, Givenchy, Prada, Marni, and Proenza Schouler first because of their strong use of color and pattern."
