———————–
Rachel was born in Ronkswood Hospital in November 1962 and after schooling at St. Mary’s
Convent, attended first Worcester Technical College and then Trent Polytechnic. After periods in South Africa and London she returned to Worcester to work for Oddbins in the
Cornmarket for nearly 20 years, before they went into administration. She was recently Mayoress of the City. Until the end, she retained a love and extensive knowledge for fine wine. Fizz in particular.
Rachel exhibited in West Malvern for many years and for Worcestershire Open Studios. She described herself as ‘specialising in vibrant floral watercolours, including pen and ink,
painted and stylised from real life subjects. I am creative, experienced in watercolour design and with inspirational ideas’. She said she ‘had a slightly non-conformist and fun approach to life’.
This exhibition brings the light, warmth, love and fun that Rachel brought to us all, those who knew for years and those who had only just met her. Please come along and celebrate her love for painting with us.
Cards, prints and some originals will be available for purchase.
