RADIANT SKY is part of a new series based around my painting Marshmallow Sky. Marshmallow Sky is a painting of a still from a video of a sunset. I wanted to explore painting the sky and sunsets in a new way as well as talking about ephemerality (something that lasts a short time). I’m wanting to try and capture a moment, one that I love!
I love creating atmospheric landscapes with soft, comforting light that also feels like a warm hug. These scenes invite viewers in and talk about our deep connection to nature.
Artist Bio: Rachel paints abstract landscapes and the places she most frequently visit in nature is what inspires me to paint. From references of granite outcrops of Girraween National Park
and the coastal beauty of Yuraygir, to the captivating views of the sky and mountains from the verandah of her home.
Each painting is created through a process of layering paint and experimenting with composition, mark-making and the colour palette. I always seek to express an ephemeral sense of balance, depth and luminosity.
