About Me




/
Born and raised in the northeast section of the Bronx, Rachel Delilah Matos began expressing herself through graffiti, traditional art, and performance at a young age. Having received her first award in art from the Metropolitan Museum of Art at the age of 6, she continued to pursue her many creative passions and is currently making waves in Los Angeles as a working actor, model, art historian, and artist.As the daughter of a therapist and the mother of a vivacious little boy, Rachel has the natural ability to empathize greatly with her characters giving them energy and life, as noted by the acclaimed acting coach, Susan Batson. Strong-willed and determined, she has been very busy building a career in acting and has landed roles in film, television, and commercials while continuing her dedication to art. A proud latina of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian descent, Rachel works with children from predominately latino communities teaching art and raising awareness on the importance of arts education. An art historian as well, she writes and lectures about one of the most invigorating times in art history - the turn of the 20th c.If Rachel is not doing a presentation on the life of Picasso to world leaders, recreating a mondrian with children, or acting or posing in front of the camera, she is spending time with her best friend and greatest inspiration, her son.
