Rachel Downey
Rachel is a contemporary mixed-media artist whose work goes beyond aesthetics. Following an accident in 2012 that resulted in nerve damage and chronic pain that left her unable to work in her business, Rachel now uses art as a therapeutic process for expressing and exploring her emotions. “I express my feelings through imagery and work out my ongoing frustrations living with physical pain, depression and anxiety. Whereas before the pain was palpable in my work, I now want to focus on the beauty in life and living”.
