Rachel Ingrid C. Holaysan was born and raised in Cebu before she moved to Manila to study Architecture at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde.

Rachel started to learn oil painting when she enrolled in art classes at Cebu Arts Club during her senior high years. She came to love working with portraits and still life, occasionally landscapes as well. Her main sources of inspiration are alla prima pieces and the art style of a series called “Arcane”.

Aside from painting, Rachel also enjoys watching performances such as plays and musicals. Her playlists are filled with musical songs to listen to when working or doing everyday activities.
