pinned post!
Hi! I’m Rachel! I’m an illustrator from Toronto, Canada. I love animals & nature & use them for my inspo. I have also started the process of bringing ceramics into my art practice & figuring out how that looks for my work! Exciting! Thanks for being part of the adventure 😊

Stop Bill 5 - Environmental Defence
Premier Ford promised to protect Ontario. But now that he's been re-elected, he is already breaking that promise. His latest bill would give his friends special permissions to ignore laws that protect...

I shared the screen print for this otter a little while ago and here it is on a little cup! Still waiting for its final firing, but I’m liking it so far 🥰

I forgot to post the finished jar, here it is! The outside looks good, but I’m still working on making the inside of the jar nice looking, that’s a challenge 😅

Some tests that weren’t super successful, but were always made at gifts anyways lol. Does anyone know why they fired to different colours? There were all the same clay

Coming up to my first full batch of ceramics since joining the studio and I’ve got plans to improve my process, but I’m also really happy with how things have been coming out 🤞 for the final glaze firing

It’s this point that’s so nerve wracking, so much time put in, but will the final outcome make it all worth it?

The nice thing about a new app that potentially reaches new people: I can repost older content! And since January & February are my hibernation days & not many illustrations are normally made, here’s a little cozy scene similar to my current life

Again digging back into my archives, here’s a fun surrealist-adjacent illustration of a Newfoundland fishing cabin/hut/cottage (not sure what they are called)

Last summer at the end of my Newfoundland roadtrip, I boondocked at a little lookout over a bay. I’ve drawn the view a few times now, but I can’t get over just how beautiful it was.

Another quick sketch I did a little while ago. I want to figure out something to do with these worms, what do you think? Sticker sheet, post-it’s, greeting card?

My very first post and here’s a quick sketch I did recently! I made a sketchbook a few months ago from garbage and so I call it my garbage sketchbook, it’s my favourite one right now!
