Hello! I'm Rachael and welcome to my website!

​

I'm a self-taught abstract artist orginally from London, but now living in the Surrey countryside. I've been creating my original pieces since June 2019, though I’ve always been a creative girl – it just got put on hold for a few years while “adulting” occurred! 

 

The medium I mainly use is alcohol inks and I absolutely love using them. The beauty of this medium lies in its unpredictable nature, making no two piece the same. Any piece I create is unique and one of a kind! But I also love exploring new mediums and keeping those creative juices flowing.

​

At the start of this journey, I was completing my University degree in Psychology. That’s how I found this love of creating again. I decided to go to university as a mature student, to obtain something I had always planned to do. But during my first year, I felt something was missing. My brain was battling with having to be so analytical and academic all the time. So, I returned to art, and started creating abstract pieces as a way of silencing the racing of my mind and to give me an outlet when university was overwhelming. And now, I couldn’t imagine my life without it.

 

While I am occasionally inspired by outside influences, such as nature, I am mainly inspired by how I want the mood of a piece to be and colours in their own right. I just adore seeing a blank canvas become exploded with colour and life. And the beauty of abstract art is that you could look at a piece multiple times and see something different each time.

​

I am generally drawn to a darker colour palette and love throwing metallic colours into my pieces to lift it. But I do take pleasure in creating bright pieces as well. Like I said, I’m inspired by what the mood of a piece will be, so it’ll entirely depend on that! 

​

I enjoy exploring new styles, compositions, and colours, as well as creating brand new pieces by commission based on my previous work.
