Rachel Bolton is an expressionist nature artist based in the Inner West of Sydney. She completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the University of Western Sydney in 1994. She has exhibited in numerous exhibitions and art prizes. Her works are focused on capturing nature and the details of found treasures. “Growing up in the Blue Mountains, I felt a strong connection with nature. Living in the Inner West of Sydney, I am constantly trying to find ways to connect with nature in a more urban environment. Discovering, appreciating, collecting, curating and recording are the ways I do this”.
