Rachael Mayne 2024 Solo Exhibition
Opening Night Friday 22 November from 5pm
Showing from 22 - 27 November
In the past, Rachael kept her artistic and clinical work separate, often compartmentalising these two aspects of her identity. However, this collection embraces the interplay between them, where the moodiness, flow and intensity of her brushwork are deeply influenced by the demands of her clinical practice. The empathy and professionalism required in her clinical work are balanced by the emotional release she finds in painting, making each art piece a reflection of this dynamic relationship.
Rachael's brushwork has become intuitive and spontaneous, allowing her to create impressionistic gardens where the paint can seemingly dance from brush to canvas.
We’d love you to join us for the opening night of Racheal's 2024 solo exhibition, this new collection promises to deliver all the beauty that Rachael’s in demand work is known for.
