Stylized white signature of Rachel Addis on a black background.

Original paintings, commissions and murals inspired by landscape, memory and the rhythms of the natural world. Every piece is thoughtfully created to become part of the spaces and stories it inhabits.

A woman sitting on the floor in front of three large colorful paintings with abstract, coral-like patterns. She is wearing a black top, paint splattered pants, and brown boots, and she is leaning against the wall in an art gallery.

Rachael Addis is a contemporary painter based at Rogue Artists' Studios in Manchester.

Having spent her formative years between the Lake District and Asia, she continues to draw inspiration from both landscapes and cultures. These influences are reflected in her intuitive painting process, distinctive colour palettes and layered abstract compositions.

Materiality sits at the heart of Rachael's practice, shaping process and mark-making. Her paintings are built through layered applications of acrylic, spray paint and drawn interventions using found tools and everyday objects rather than traditional brushes. Through sustained, repetitive gestures, each piece evolves gradually, recording the physical act of making while inviting moments of contemplation and connection.
