About
Bio
Rachel Dittrich is an emerging impressionist artist producing vibrant oil paintings since 2021. Rachel explores the play of light in intimate, quiet moments and in bursts of movement and grandeur in life and nature.
Her work can be found in private collections in the UK, USA and across Europe. Her painting ‘The Dreamers’ was the winner of the Cass Art Solo Show Award at the Royal West of England Academy’s 170 Open Exhibition 2023.
Rachel was born in Hampshire and works in the UK cities of Southampton and Bath.
