Rachel Tighe

Rachel has developed her practise over the years and has now emerged and gained international recognition, with her work being displayed at homes in Switzerland, Dubai, Boston and New York.

It really goes back to basics in the studio for Rachel as she builds, stretches and primes all of her own canvases.

To create most of her paintings she will travel to draw from real life in order to engage and get a feel of the location, to then transcribe onto canvas. This has taken her across the globe for inspiration and new perspectives.

Each painting documents a moment from a time and place, but however static the paint is, the moment is kept bustling in the vibrancy of Rachel's approach.

Artist Statement:

“The practise of my work involves capturing life and the architecture around us through the fast paced marks I make on paper. I then develop these images onto canvas and the illogical representations begin to take form and create naïve paintings which are full of movement and life”
