Rachel Carroll has been a practicing artist for over 20 years. An expressionist and an environmentalist painter Rachel prefers to paint about locations that are surviving rather than focus on an areas demise.

It has always been Carroll’s focus to bring the “bush to the city”, in the hope that others will connect with nature. Art acts as a little reminder to go visit and love the “greater green”, as she calls it. One example of this happening is when a client bought one of her largest drawings of the Coorong, only to then drive 14 hours to find the same location. Before this moment they had not been to this part of Australia before.

“If an artwork can inspire someone to drive 14 hours to find the same view and experience nature, then I feel I have done my job as an artist.” R.Carroll
