Barbara Rachko’s work has received critical recognition throughout US.  She has exhibited extensively in US in various prestigious galleries and Museums in Japan and USA including Butler Institute of American Art, The Chrysler Museum, The Sumner Museum and The Muscarelle Museum of Art among others.

Rachko in her new series The ""Domestic Threats"" uses pastel-on-sandpaper narrating Mexican folk art with masks, carved wooden animals, papier mâché figures, and toy through lively blend of reality and fantasy.  Her unique technique and symbolic portraitures leaves the audience in the midst of dreamy fiction that is continuous in an eternal mingling of life and experience.  Mystery, drama and unexplainable shadows in these unique body of works reflect her autobiographical sketches overlapping with the universal nature of existence."
