Hi - I’m Rachel, a self-taught illustrator originally from Hull in North East England, now living in Brittany in France.

I work mostly in mixed-media, using paint, pencils, pen and collage. I love to incorporate these different elements and textures into my work as I feel like they can add a little bit of magic to a finished piece. I draw much of my inspiration from childhood memories and many of the characters in my work are based on people I know or have met.

When I’m not painting I enjoy spending time with friends and family, walking my special studio assistant Ziggy (border collie extraordinaire), running, taking photographs and playing the cello in my local orchestra.

Please get in touch if you’re interested in working with me, or would just like to say hello…I’d love to hear from you!
