My name is Rachael Ashe. I am a visual artist, currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I am a photographer, mixed-media collage, and altered book artist.
My blog showcases some of my favourite works, and is an ongoing exploration of my development as an artist.

One of the things I do at my part-time job with Foodtree is take photos at the farmers markets. We’re really trying to promote local producers and connect people with where their food comes from. I use the photos to add to the Foodtree database, but also for things like blog posts. I thought I’d share some of the photos here as well.
There are so many beautiful (and yummy) things at the farmers markets. I’m so glad the season is now open.
It’s my favorite colour, so of course I’m convinced there can never be too much red.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
2011 has unexpectedly found me with an iPhone in hand. I’d been looking at lower-end point and shoot cameras so that I could once again have something on me at all times, but it ended up making more sense to get an all-in-one device. The deal was sealed once I found out I could get the iPhone for almost half price using my Fido dollars.

The wooden bird Nicole gave me yesterday.
These were all taken using an app called Instagram. I’m using it as a visual diary and so far it has me motivated to take photos more often. If you use the app please come and find me. I’d love to share the experience with more artists.
