Art by Rachel
Rachel has built her portrait work through private commissions, with a focus on animals and the details owners recognise instantly. Her work covers dogs, horses and wildlife, using coloured pencil and pastel techniques.
Every commission starts from the customer's own photographs and is drawn by hand. The aim is a portrait that feels personal rather than mass-produced.
