Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect is part of a series that delves into our emotional, psychological and social well-being or in other words our mental health. This piece focuses on the noise within our personal speak, our head chatter. The stream of mental associations that flow through, thoughts about pasts and futures, fragments of songs or conversations, daydreams or alternative realities. I chose to adorn this being with colour, joyfulness and beauty as a symbol of love and good luck. Often symbolized in the hummingbird. The pitcher plants also a nod to the volume of self talk we bestow upon our selves. I hope this piece can be a reminder of the need for positive self talk and the importance of loosing oneself in song amongst the flowers and the birds.

Pitch Perfect uses professional quality canvas. Varnished for protection to last a lifetime. Including Certificate of Authenticity as authentication for this piece of artwork.
Will arrive ready to hang with the added option for professional framing through Bluethumb.

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.
