Impasto Oils and Acrylics
Rachel Goffredo is a self-taught artist specialising in botanicals, seascapes and predominantly Italian landscapes. She draws her inspiration from nature and in particular trips to Italy, where the intricate beauty of the hibiscus flowers in Sicily first caught her imagination.
Rachel especially enjoys the dramatic effects created with palette knives and thick impasto oils and acrylics, which convey movement, texture and vibrancy in her paintings.
Her work has been exhibited at the Holy Art Metamorphosis Exhibition in London in December 2020.

I always wanted to be an artist and this passion only evolved through my time at an art school for children. However, the time soon came where I had to make a decision for my future. I ended up choosing to study business at university, as it was the safest most secure route to take. Fortunately, after 15 years of forgetting my passion, I found myself wandering back to art.
This reminiscence was pushed by my first pregnancy, where I began to search for creative jobs that I could complete in the comfort of my home. This gave me experience in Photoshop, which guided me to pursue digital artistry. Now, my art has been published in a number of magazines and art-books. This led me to work as a book illustrator.
When I picked up a paintbrush again after a few years, the rush of inspiration forced my hand to return back to traditional art. Today, my biggest aspiration is to become a professional artist and keep doing what I love.
From a young age, I’ve always wanted to be an artist. Forever inspired by the scenic world around me, I sought out a way to recreate and transform the beauty seen into something of my own. I shape my art primarily using oil paints, acrylic paints, and coloured pencils.
Paintings by Ascot, Berkshire Artist Yana KucheevaÂ
My references consist mostly of natural landscapes, that I have either experienced from holidays, or walks through the forest with my dog, Sunny. These are the times I could see nature in its purest, truest form. I turn these images into paintings; using oil paints to build and add depth, from the breadth of the tree bark, to the veins in the leaves, and the froth of the ocean waves.
I aim to capture the magical essence within nature by using lighting, and a choice of colour scheme that results in landscapes entangled with fairytale qualities. These qualities leave an impact that feels comforting, refreshing, and can serve as a reminder for the eternal beauty that exists around us.
I also paint idyllic flowers; still life, from transforming seemingly mundane things into art; plus pet portraits, that keep memories alive forever.
I hope that my art will bring you the same solace and joy it brought me when creating it.
