She has exhibited her work internationally and has worked with cultural institutions such as Street-Level Youth Media and the Al-Feinique Cultural Center. Mary Rachel's influences and motivations are derived from her upbringing in the Deep South; a fascination with people's stories, both public and private. Often her cultural interactions encounter the sharp edges of economics, race, age, and the "American Dream." However, what remains most important to her is how her subjects and collaborators communicate their relationship with the places they live, with others, and even herself. She currently lives in Chicago where she teaches photography at Columbia College. She blogs.

In Finland, she works with organisations like Katastro.fi, Muu Ry., Kaulbach Society and Amfibio.
