Artist Bio
Rachel Favelle is a Pop Surreal artist and illustrator whose work is inspired by the Australian flora and fauna she grew up surrounded by.
She holds a Bachelor of Visual Art in Illustration and a Bachelor of Education from Griffith University, and remains a practising visual arts teacher alongside her own creative practice.
Her work has shown across Australia and internationally in Portugal, the United States and New Zealand, including a solo exhibition in Chicago and finalist placings in the Doyle Art Prize and Lethbridge 20000.
Rachel has also published a children's picture book, The Bear Hug, and mentors emerging artists through the Mastrius program.
Working meticulously in oils, Rachel creates fantastical worlds populated by quirky, otherworldly characters. Her paintings celebrate the wonder of childhood imagination while offering a deeper commentary on wildlife conservation and the connection between human nature and the natural world.
