Born in Taiwan, Rachel Chou embraced her artistic ability from a young age. A fan of the outdoors, she enjoyed painting landscapes and murals. After her childhood, Rachel moved to Vancouver, where she studied animation at the Centre for Digital Imaging and Sound. She has freelanced as an illustrator and graphic designer.
Earlier this year, she explored Australia for six months. Since then, she has moved back to Taiwan and is immersing herself in art and music. Rachel thrives on the creativity that life drawing extracts from her. The unpolished figures she captures reflect a raw energy that photography cannot replicate. She also wants to use different media to express her views on society and the environment.

2 October 2016, Visual Dialogues XI Charity Art Event 慈善油畫聯名展
Opening Reception: Sunday, October 2 at 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Red Room & CBTA (Childhood Brain Tumor Association of Taiwan) would like to invite you to the opening of their charity art event, featuring over 14 artists. They will be donating their art for the cause.
Caridee Chou: “My sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor and during her treatment, she felt that art was a great healer. She discovered that painting helped her through this difficult period.”
This is where the idea originated to hold a charity art show to help other children who are suffering from similar situation. We wish for each child to experience the joy of a happy and healthy childhood.
Donations will go to Childhood Brain Tumor Association of Taiwan (CBTA).
The mission of the CBTA is to improve quality of life and the long term outlook for children with brain tumors from newly diagnosed to survivorship or end of life.
