Hi, my name is Rachael Ashe. I am a visual artist, currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I am a photographer and mixed-media artist. I work with everything from pinhole cameras to toy cameras, and film to digital.
My blog showcases some of my favourite works, and is an ongoing exploration of my development as an artist.

Five lovely moments from the last two days…
1) Lunch dates two days in a row
2) Walking outside in the sunshine
3) Droping off a freshly shot roll of holga film at the lab
4) Browsing through a clothing store but not needing to buy anything
5) Setting time aside to create the above collage in photoshop
After working intensely for the last week and a half to organize a conference, today I’ve been granted a paid day off as a show of appreciation by my supervisor. It was a stressful job, and a lot of work in a short amount of time, so I’m very glad to have the break.
A friend sent me a link to Angry Alien Productions, a website featuring animated bunnies re-enacting famous movies in thirty seconds, more or less. (Just in case you need an internet break at work today…)
“The moment you come to trust chaos, you see God clearly. Chaos is
divine order, versus human order. Change is divine order, versus human
order. When the chaos becomes safety to you, then you know you’re
seeing God clearly.”
