Artwork Description

A multi layered collection of lines which together create larger forms.
The warmth below creates the depth for the cool above.
To understand the importance of every part being inclusive in making the whole.

Lined up melting collections on a bookshelf.

To be unflappable or composed whilst also in a state of agitation simmering below.
Evenness of the mind under stress, in this case over stress.

Interestingly the process in creating this work is very meditative and cathardic. Repetitive lines allow myself to transport into a meditative state while painting.

Artwork is available ready to hang, varnished with Certificate of Authenticity.
All framing options are listed through Bluethumb. Make sure to choose options to suit all your framing needs.

Rachel South is a Queensland-based artist whose practice explores emotional and sensory landscapes through vibrant oil and acrylic paintings. Her work often blends symbolic natural forms with intimate portraiture, using fine detail, colour, and contrast to evoke memory, connection, and reflection.

Her recent work investigates the sensory qualities of hair, feathers, and fur, using layered brushwork to explore ideas of intimacy, memory, and identity through touch and sensation. In 2025, Rachel was awarded a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant to support the growth of this body of work, furthering her exploration of felt experience in visual form.

Rachel’s paintings have been recognised across Queensland, with multiple finalist selections in regional and national art awards, including the Moreton Bay Art Prize where she was awarded third place. Her practice continues to evolve through both solo and group exhibitions, with works held in private collections throughout Australia. Inspired by the natural environment of Moreton Bay and Elimbah, her art is both contemplative and immersive, inviting viewers to pause within the layered experiences of identity, memory, and place.
