Rachel Morrell

Rachel Morrell creates abstract and semi-abstract work in acrylics, oils, textiles and mixed media.

Her inspiration comes from the textures, strata and patterns of the coast, moorland, abbeys and former industrial ruins in North Yorkshire. She has a particular interest in the way nature will return and take over derelict buildings given little or no encouragement. Her textured work is formed of many layers representing the passing of time.

From her studio in Wensleydale, she can see the constantly changing light and weather playing over the scars and rock formations and this underlies her work.
