I'm Rachael, an award-winning artist based in Basildon, Essex, specialising in highly detailed animal portraits and live wedding paintings.

​

As a former Senior Zookeeper and lifelong animal lover, I have a deep understanding of the animals I draw, helping me capture not only their likeness but also their unique character and personality. Whether you are looking for a portrait of your horse, dog, cat, or another beloved companion, each piece is created with exceptional care and attention to detail.

​

In 2025, I expanded my services to include live wedding painting, creating bespoke artworks that capture the atmosphere, emotion, and memories of a couple's special day. To ensure every painting receives the attention it deserves, I accept only a limited number of wedding bookings each year.

​

My artwork can be found in homes across the world, from the United States to Australia, and I am proud to have been recognised with the Equine Service of the Year Award.

​

If you would like to discuss a portrait commission, live wedding painting, or explore my tutorials, I would love to hear from you.
