From her studio in Hampshire…
Rachel creates original mixed-media artworks alongside a collection of luxury textiles, wallpaper, homeware, and stationery. Inspired by nature and architecture, her work draws on the textures, patterns, and structures found in the British countryside, and urban landscapes. She combines delicate drawings, watercolours, and printmaking techniques to craft bespoke designs, developing her artworks into timeless yet contemporary collections for the home.

Rachel studied Printed Textiles at Loughborough University and soon received her first commissions, creating site-specific backdrops, textiles, and wall hangings. After moving to the south of England, she combined freelance design with commissioned work before establishing her own business. Rachel was awarded a setting up grant from the Southern Arts Board and became a Prince's Trust supported business.
