Hi, I’m Rachel—a fibre and textile artist based in Cornwall, where I’m a little bit obsessed with the sea and sky where the light, colours (and weather!) are ever changing. The shoreline is a tonic to me and I’ve often found myself wanting to bottle up those blissful coastal moments and take them home to experience whenever I want. 

Sometimes it can be difficult to tap into those memories when day to day life is taking centre stage, so to have something physically tangible to help recreate those peaceful, grounding, uplifting or inspiring feelings is wonderful. I use the energy of colour and texture to express these moments and encapsulate them in a lasting form. 

Our physical environments play a big role in how we feel and elements such as art carry energy, which can make a big difference to our emotions. Yes, art can “look” good, but can also provide a deeper, personal meaning. I like to think of my pieces as seeds that you can plant in your home or workspace, to work with the other elements in that space and help you create whatever feeling you need that will truly nurture your well-being.

I love to experiment with materials and techniques (often making it up as I go along!) and am always looking to create something just that little bit different. I have a selection of made to order designs available, but I also create one-off originals and limited edition collections alongside bespoke commissions. I absolutely love to be able to create something tailored specifically for an individual- the intention and energy that can be poured into that piece is so much more powerful and meaningful. 

I hope you find something here that resonates with you, even if it’s just a spark of inspiration to take a closer look at your environment. If you’d love something bespoke, I’d be delighted to create a piece tailored just for you - please feel free to message me here or email me on rachel@rachelelanor.co.uk
