Rachel Ke ala o ka pua melia* Smith

Rachel Smith lives in Sacramento, California and travels all over the state doing art, performing on stage and underwater, and absorbing books on tape, and podcasts. Rachel received a Bachelor's Degree in Illustration at the California College in 2010. She is the illustrator of several published books, and numerous poster and flyer designs. Most of her time is spent swimming at the Dive Bar, where she performs weekly as the Head Mermaid.
