Rachel Burchell

A latecomer to art practice, being a primary school teacher for most of her life, Rachel made the transition in 2019 undertaking Artpocket’s Art Intensive course. She is currently continuing her studies on their Postgraduate Programme.

Based in South Norfolk, this visual artist draws on the body, the natural world around her, as well as poetry, folklore and literature, to give voice to that which is overlooked, forgotten or dismissed. Her process of layering and obscuring,  exposing and revealing is an integral part of expressing her feelings and challenging the viewer to see beyond first impressions.

She also has fallen in love with foraging, natural ink making and eco printing.  This, and her love of all things Art, has led her back into education to share the joy of creating, contributing to both children’s and adult courses at Artpocket.
