I would like to introduce Rachel to all of you Shook-goers.
Rachel is a self-taught artists based in Leeds. She is most interested in landscapes and abstract forms inspired by color, the painting process and her own imagination. Her first ever art exhibition is In November at East Street Arts gallery and she couldn’t be more excited for it. Her exhibition will have a series of landscape and abstract paintings of scenes around Ilkey and West Yorkshire to showcase the wild beauty, vivid colors and rugged landscape. In her spare time, she designs knot wear and craft items. Click here to see some of the photos on her blog.
These items are currently being sold on Shook:
Molly in the Wood
Path Through the Trees
Abstract

Fantastic work!
😀
WOW!!
Really appreciate “Path through the Trees”. Love
Fantastic! Path though the trees is so beautiful 😀
It is gorgeous isn’t it?
Thanks for all your positive comments! Yorkshire’s a lovely place, I try and reflect that in my paintings. Although it’s raining today, AGAIN!!!
Terrific image of Molly in the Wood and the colors and design of Path through the Trees really draws you in and makes you feel like you’re part of the painting. Lovely work. I like Abstract too, but I can’t help but wonder what it “really” is. I’d like to see her do a painting using my favorite colors together…a pinkish violet and pretty green.
Such great positive feedback! If you are interested in purchasing make sure to check out http://www.shook.co to see Rachel’s work and more! 🙂
Great paintings, Jackie. Loved it. 🙂
Lovely idea – great post, and wonderful paintings!
Your paintings are beautiful. Keep up the good work!
Love your work Rachel, you are an amazing artist… enjoyed your post.
Thanks for sharing your news about Rachel and congrats on the exhibit!
I love Molly in the Wood the most (primarily as I am an obsessed dog lover) felt like I was there walking behind her. Very talented young lady.
Wow, I ADORE Path Through the Trees. The pinks are amazing!
“path through the trees” is beautiful 🙂
LOVE every piece – very impressionistic and vibrant at the same time!
Especially love ‘The Path through the Tress’ and ‘Abstract’!
Loving ‘Path Through the Trees’! It’s like a mini burst of colour.
First shows are a bit nerve racking so be yourself and enjoy the spotlight and know that there are so many more to come…A tip of the brush to you Rachel…Bev B
Great advice 😀
Thank you Jackie…
I’m looking forward to seeing my paintings in a gallery space, but not the rest! Although a glass of wine is always nice…
You will do just fine and do not drink to much wine…If you come to a standstill in conversation gracefully excuse yourself and find a quite place to go for about five minutes to regain your thoughts…Then give them the artist that they came to see…Smile you and too make sure you keep your head up and make eye contact when talking…let me know how it goes…Bev
Gorgeous paintings. I love all of the color. Best of luck to you!
Carrie
Thank you so much! It gives me confidence to hear these positive comments!
Thanks Carrie for your compliments!
Lovely paintings… I especially love “path through the trees”. Excellent.
I love all of them as well 🙂
I love the interplay between all of them! As a “naturalist” and as a “conceptual/formalist”painter, I love to look at the movements of a composition structured differently!
Hey Heather. That’s some great feedback from an artist perspective. If you ever have any paintings you want to sell, you can register with http://www.shook.co 😀
thanks!
Thank you for the visit…love that first painting.
I love the passion that emerges from your paintings.
Beautiful! The magic and wonder of the forest and nature all engulfed in paintings!
hi, I’ve nominated you for one lovely blog award, check the link http://taraleeblog.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/one-lovely-blog-award-nomination-a-prelude-to-a-lovely-day/
great paintings 😀
Very beautiful paintings~ I like the curviness of the paths in the first too, so all the nature almost looks like a tunnel to walk through. 🙂
Path through the Trees is vibrant! I like the use of color and light. Each artwork is uniquely expressive, but Path through the Trees is visually captivating. I teach art on the middle school level and plan to create a blog to post student’s work. This inspires me! Thank you for visiting myimmanuel!
Really nice light distribution in the first painting; you really have something going here, Rachel!

Nice to you see…
Gorgeous work!
Awesome stuff. I thought Abstract was slightly underwhelming though, it feels like it lacks that little bit of focus and cohesion needed to bring everything together. On one hand, the top right area lends to the sense of movement inherent in your other paintings – a flow that works very well and I think should be incorporated more thoroughly into the rest of the painting – but on the other, it feels disjointed and rather odd. In a way, it breaks away from the vibe – which I feel is a sort of simmering anger that fluctuates between controlled calm and bursts of joy.
Yes, I know what you mean! I’m sort of new to abstracts and they’re a lot harder to do than people think…it’s early days for me. Good to get useful criticism!
Amazing 😀
I LOVE them! So much color, especially the middle one. They have the power to brighten up a day.
These are lovely paintings. I enjoyed looking at them.
Love the artwork! 😀

Wow.
Really nice introduction, and more like that pictures…
really good!
Nice work Rachel!
My favorite painting of those three is by far “Path Through The Trees”. I love the colors! Nice work Rachel and keep it up!
What a fantastic use of colours – I love the imagery!
These painting’s are really beautiful.. Some lovely landscapes!
I like the painting “Molly in the Wood” and “Path Through the Trees”.
And thank you for liking my design work “Greetings 2012-2013”.
I like her use of colors, especially when contrasting lights and darks. It makes you feel as thought you’re walking through a dream.
