Rachel is a young and passionate artist living on the NSW coastline were she is inspired by the magnificent beaches and wildlife Sydney has to offer.
A huge part of my life is within the ocean, I have been snorkelling since I can remember and completed my basic Open Water scuba diving certificate at 12 years and my Advanced Course at 14 and I am now getting into free diving at 17 years and one of my favourite things to do is to combine my love of the ocean with my art. I spend most of my time working with inks as I love the fact they are water based and add so much to an oceanic inspired artwork.
I have done Visual Arts all the way through high school and it has always been a fundamental part of my life and I have the ink stains all over my carpet to prove it! Through my art I hope to communicate the beauty of our oceans and the unique and delicate biodiversity within them, which I believe is our responsibility to protect.
Additionally my art just makes me happy and calm and i simply hope i can share that with you.
