ABOUT RACHEL
Rachel has been compulsively driven to create art for as long as she can remember. She has been painting throughout her parenthood journey, which has led her to adopt looser, faster techniques in order to create works in short stints of time during her child's naps and while on her lunch breaks from her work as an academic researcher. Rachel has painted throughout her PhD at the University of Manchester, her masters at Cambridge, and her undergraduate degree at Columbia University. You may recognize some of these locations in the artwork!
​
The subjects she finds most inspiring are sweeping British landscapes and tranquil rural locations. Rachel usually paints these subjects on-site and outdoors (plein air painting) using ink and watercolors. Rachel also loves the expressive strokes and whole body experience of painting on a large canvas.

If you have something else in mind you would like Rachel to paint, say a watercolor painting of your house, or an acrylic portrait, or something to send to a loved one, please get in touch!
