Slow art in a fast world

Hi, I’m Rachel - a Tasmanian artist celebrating our incredible wildlife through beautifully realistic drawings.

I specialise in heartfelt, intricately detailed pencil drawings that make you stop and look closer—birds, native animals, and the occasional cheeky pet.

Explore my website for original artworks, prints and custom commissions that honour the beauty of our native species.

A portion of every original art + print sale supports Tasmanian wildlife conservation.
