Rachel is an artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her earliest memories of drawing were trying to recreate pages from her 1999 Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace Movie Annual.
Her main influences are Alphonse Mucha, J.C Leyendecker and Drew Struzan who continue to inspire and motivate her art practice.
She studied Communication Design at Glasgow School of Art and originally focused on printmaking, going freelance for about 6 years.
However it wasn't until she trained as a Secondary Teacher of Art and Design that she found her passion for portraiture and paint. She is currently working on a project to complete 100 portaits.
She primarily works in Acrylic Gouache.
