Painting featuring an impressionistic meadow scene with poppies, grasses and seed heads, in vibrant reds and greens with yellow touches

Shifting Light, Textured Colour:

Nature’s Moments, Held In Paint

Bursting with colour, texture and light, Rachael Gorton’s paintings reimagine gardens and natural spaces, translating fleeting moments of seasonal change into lasting impressions.  From the hush of woodlands to the intensity of a summer meadow, her work evokes the richness of being immersed in the natural world — not just its forms, but its feeling.  Layered with thick paint, her canvases catch changing light and seem to shift, bringing a new dimension to any space.  These are pieces that ground, uplift, and transform everyday spaces into personal encounters with colour, texture and the wonder of the living world.

Room set with orange sofa, Christmas tree and wide painting above sofa - the painting shows a meadow scene with a few large poppy forms among varied greens and yellows

Current & Upcoming Shows:

Meadow scene with layered stems in greens, warm yellows and cool blues. Daisies and red poppies appear alongside purple forms through the stems. A close scene with no background beyond the colours of the stems and florals.
