Rachel

Recreate Collection

This work began with an existing landscape painting that I chose specifically so I could paint into it adding to the story of what was already there.

Rachel was created by painting her into a landscape that once belonged to my father. Working into this painting became a way of continuing the life of something that had long been part of our home. The portrait was inspired by the work of artist Lyndsey Jameson.

This painting explores the idea of recreating something from something that already exists, bringing together an older painting, contemporary portrait influences, and my own artistic hand to form a new story.
