hi there

I’m Rachel

I’m an artist, illustrator and writer living on Gumbaynggirr country on Australia’s paradisical east coast. I mostly like to draw, but I also work across multiple mediums like painting, digital and commerical illustration, mixed media, collage and writing. My creative practice draws on a lifetime of seeking lonely places and moments of quiet wonder, fueled by curiosity, a reverence for nature and our place in it, and a touch of horse-girl spirit.

STUDIO, SKETCHBOOK & DESIGN

Latest work

As always, my latest work strives to articulate the tough and tender, the strong and sweet, the profound and the pedestrian… this body of work includes more bright playful colours, rich, loose painterly strokes, and the ever-present amulets and omens of the land – plants, animals, celestial bodies.

Sketchbook stories

 
 
The tarantula, the adder, and the asp will also never change. Pain and death will always be the same. But under the pavements trembling like a pulse, under the buildings trembling like a cry, under the waste of time, under the hoof of the beast above the broken bones of cities, there will be something growing like a flower, something bursting from the earth again, forever deathless, faithful, coming into life again like April.
— Thomas Wolfe
