I am an emerging visual artist and my work transverses both physical and digital worlds. Often using paint, print and illustration, my work explores experiences and culture through the use of fluid shapes, linear structures and a pastel palette.
A founding member of the visual art collective Epoch, I am available for commissions and my personal work is available to purchase through my Instagram @rachmclarke or my website rachelclarke.ie.
