Rachel has been professionally playing with flowers since April 2008. When not hard at work designing beautiful floral arrangements or taking photographs, she can be found indulging in copious amounts of coffee and curry with her partner, David. Currently perfecting the art of animal mothering to her amazing dog, Mortimer, and three crazy cats, she finds solace in the beauty and unknown of scifi, discovering the power of the human heart in English literature, writing with a Pilot pen, and using far too many words to write a simple statement, such as,
