Rachel collier-wilson - Creative With Line
I use drawing, print paint and textiles to explore my creativity
Rachel Collier-Wilson artist
I have been a practicing artist quite a few years now having gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Printmaking in 1990 from Central Saint Martins School of Art in London. I am currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at The Norwich University of the Arts (part time). I am comfortable exploring a variety of creative media. I use sketching, lino, mono printing and painting in my work. The common thread throughout my creativeness is my love of drawing. I am an avid life drawer, but am happy to use my creative line to draw most organic creatures and forms. I’m very diverse in my creativity, one day I have to draw, or create a print, or even sew something. However – there’s nothing like pulling the first proof off a printing plate to see the outcome. This results in a balance of work which is often illustrative based on wildlife and work informed by identity and how I exist in the world.
I also curate a Queer Arts Festival, QueerFest Norwich, which happens in February.
I grew up in the Peak District and have lived in London, Boston, New Zealand and now Norwich. All of these experiences feed into my creativity.
