Rachael Addis is a contemporary painter who creates visually beautiful works full of captivating detail. A graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts (London) Rachael is now based at Rogue Artists Studios in Manchester and has recently created an 8-metre-long mural for Europe’s largest music venue Co-Op live.

Rachael exhibits her work nationally and internationally and has paintings in prestigious collections; including Harrods VIP lounge, OWO hotel, London; Joyce Wang Suite, Whitley London, as well as commissions for Madri beer and featured work in Harpers Bazaar. She appeared in a BBC documentary about the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, and is School Artist for Delamere SEN school.

Rachael describes the distinctive mark-making applied in her paintings as "meditative and compulsive - pushing me both physically and mentally". As a process painter, she allows repetition to play a part in the slow unfolding of a finished piece. Whether painting plein-air or in the studio,

Rachaels' formative years were spent between the Lake District and Asia and both remain key influences on her artistic processes, subject matter and overall aesthetic. Her work often reflects a deep engagement with memory, movement, and landscape, resulting in compositions that feel both intuitive and intentional.

Rachael has a studio at Rogue Artists Studios in Manchester, if you’d like to visit her studio or arrange a video call to see available work further do get in touch to make an appointment.
