Rachel Caldwell (Thirsty Fly) resides in Philadelphia, USA with her husband and son. She grew up in the freezing mountains of northern New Hampshire and is the daughter of a realism painter. She seemed destined for art school when at the young age of 7 she famously smeared her finger through her dad’s oil painting! In college Rachel studied printmaking, drawing, and graphic design and holds a B.F.A. in Communication Design from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania where she won a national Clio award in advertising.
Since 1997 she has been employed as design director for a large financial company where she has won numerous awards including an IABC Gold Quill Award and the Grand Award of Excellence from the Advertising Club of Delaware. In 2006, she began drawing more seriously and started a freelance illustration career. Her clients include Fender Musical Instruments and Teefury. She also teaches graphic design on an adjunct basis at West Chester University of Pennsylvania.
