Khedoori received her BFA from San Francisco Art Institute in 1988.[6] She received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1994.[7] She was a visiting professor at the Academy of Art, Malmö, Sweden in 1996.[8] Khedoori began exhibiting in 1994, a joint debut show with her sister, Toba Khedoori.[4] Her first complete solo show gained international attention at Kunsthalle Basel and Kunstverein Braunschweig in 2001.[9] Her exhibition in Basel focused on film projected onto 2-D and 3-D objects.[10] Rachel's work blends life and the abstract use of film, sculpture and installation.[10]
