This Artist Sparkles!

Dec 01, 2022

This is our friend Rachel Steele and we are so excited for her to be this week’s featured artist! She’s an England-based Graphic Designer and Illustrator and has been creating things from a very young age. She loves to paint, collage, print, and do anything crafty that she can get her hands on really. But particularly, she loves to draw.

Rachel discovered Inktober a few years ago and loved how the prompts force her out of her comfort zone, coming up with ideas that she wouldn't ordinarily pursue. Rachel spent 1 year at University studying Art at the foundational level and another 3 years on her degree in Graphic Design.

She has been really fortunate in that her family is also artistic and has always nurtured her creativity. Specifically, her Grandfather who taught her about watercolor when she was small and who also happens to be her biggest fan. Her Mum is a great influence as well, having never stopped encouraging and inspiring her. They would spend countless days during the school summer holidays with each other in museums and galleries, so Rachel could be inspired and sketch. We hope that in today’s takeover Rachel can pay it forward and inspire others, as they’ve inspired her!

Enjoy our featured artist and friend of the week, Rachel Steele! Her work is featured today on our story. She is an inspiration for us as we recover from Inktober 2022 and get back into the rhythm of Inktober52. Check it out on our Instagram page today!
