About the Artist

RACHEL COLLINS

Anyone within earshot will probably HEAR me sooner than later. My guffaw has been described as “incredibly loud”, “maniacal” and has been known to be “inappropriate” for many specific settings.

Laughter soothes the soul and has gotten me through some of the toughest challenges in my life.

I’m a born New Englander who enjoys travel, nature, and animals. The outdoors has always been a source of comfort, beauty, and escape where anything can happen inspiring all my work.

I understand that sounds like a five-year-old child’s statement, but it just so happens to all be true and kids are FUN!

My husband and I are enthusiastic travelers seeking out a variety of locations where beauty and natural surroundings are part of the experience.

At the end of a school trip to Italy I was delighted and honored to be gifted with a certificate for BEST LAUGH. Our bus of 26 people got used to me spontaneously exploding into laughter on the way to our locations, sometimes for hours, while I listened to the boys at The Last Podcast on the Left network describe Jeffery Dahmer’s soup recipe and Ed Gein’s unique collection.
