I’m Rachel, an Irish artist based in London, making paintings and drawings around a full-time job.

I trained in painting at BA and MA level, but shelved my own creativity for almost ten years while life, work and survival took over. I’m now returning to painting again - slowly, imperfectly, and with a lot of love for colour.

My work often begins with ordinary things: food, flowers, landscapes, interiors, parties, small moments and everyday scenes. I’m interested in capturing feeling through colour, and making work that brings warmth, brightness and a bit of joy into other people’s lives. :)

For now, my practice is about finding my way back: making time, paying attention, and remembering that creativity doesn’t have to disappear just because life gets full.
