Rachko subsequently resigned from active duty (but remained in the Navy Reserve and retired as a Naval Commander in 2003) to devote herself to making art.〔("Pentagon economist may have lived if at his office" ) ''USA Today''. Retrieved 2014-12-01.〕 Rachko is drawn to Mexican and Guatemalan cultural objects—masks,〔("Dream Weavers" ) ''Providence Phoenix''. Retrieved 2014-12-01.〕 carved wooden animals, papier-mâché figures, and toys—for reasons similar to those of Man Ray and the modernists, who in their case were drawn to African art. On trips to southern Mexico and Guatemala she frequents local mask shops, markets, and bazaars searching for the figures that will later populate her pastel paintings and photographs.〔("A Conversation with Barbara Rachko" ) ''ARTery NYC''. Retrieved 2014-12-01.〕 She takes very old objects with a unique Mexican or Guatemalan past (most have been used in religious festivals) and gives them a second life.〔("A Second Life for Mexican Folk Art - Day 233" ) ''Artful Vagabond''. Retrieved 2014-12-01.〕 Rachko was represented by Brewster Arts Ltd. in New York until the gallery closed in 2000. She completed Ajira’s Emerge 2000 business program for artists, won a 2008-09 Joyce Dutka Arts Foundation award, and multiple grants from the Templar Trust in Lichtenstein.
