I've been feeling a bit lost for words recently.

It feels strange posting as normal when there's so much going on in the world. I've always turned to art for escapism, and I want to continue to create that for others too.

These lyrics feel particularly relevant at the moment.

Sending love 💙

A belated Burns night, here is just a snippet of the Scotland that inspires me to create.

From mighty basking sharks, to feeding humpbacks and the last orca of the west coast community. I love our wild west (but a slightly less windy week would be appreciated) 🐋 #marinelife

Painting by the window isn't quite as relaxing today whilst storm Eowyn batters against it 🌬 hope everyone is staying safe, and there is some sunlight soon to finish these blues #blueshark #sharkart #marinelife

Hi Bluesky 👋 I'm Rachel, a wildlife artist and Scientific Illustrator living on the west coast of Scotland. Looking forward to meeting people who love sharks, the sea and scuba diving 🌊
