Rachel Tribble grew up in New York City and later became involved with the Indigenous community in the Upper Midwest. A constant champion of the environment, in her early career she told stories about the Earth by presenting multimedia installations and performance work in the alternative venues of rock nightclubs, at the rise of the EDM movement. These works brought attention to the natural world and sparked esoteric and social questions. She also produced surreal illustrative work that has been used for commercial purposes. Her paintings attracted the attention of the Walt Disney Company. Her work for the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival poster, won the IFEA Gold Pinnacle Award for the company. It has also been gifted to the nominees of the academy awards, emmy awards and others.
Over the years Rachel’s personal love of books, papers and threads,vintage and rustic objects, and metalwork, found its way into folios and small books she created for herself. When the COVID19 pandemic shut her studio down, she began to focus on creating books and multi-media work.
