Rachel collier-wilson - Creative With Line
I use drawing, print paint and textiles to explore my creativity
Rachel Collier-Wilson artist
Rachel Collier-Wilson is a multidisciplinary artist based in Norwich, recognised for their bold and expressive line work. With a background in printmaking with A BA (hons) from Central Saint Martins and current MA studies at Norwich University of the Arts, Rachel’s practice spans drawing, painting, printmaking, and wire sculpture.
Their work is grounded in a love of drawing, often exploring gender identity, sexuality, and lived experience, while also drawing inspiration from nature and the LGBTQ+ community. Balancing illustrative depictions of wildlife with narrative portraiture, Rachel’s art is unified by an energetic and distinctive line. They have exhibited widely across the UK and internationally, including in Boston and Auckland.
Rachel curates Queer Arts Festival, QueerFest , whichcoincides with LGBTQ+ History Month every February.
Rachel grew up in the Peak District and has lived in London, Boston, New Zealand and now Norwich. All of these experiences also feed into their creativity.
