Goosfest Art workshop with Rachael Addis – The Art of Wellbeing

Rachel will start the workshop with an introduction to her work and the techniques that she uses. She will then move onto 'Visual Journaling' where she introduces mark making and meditation drawing techniques together with journaling techniques such as daily pages, text, image, colour and meaning.
Rachael is a contemporary painter based at Rogue Artists' studios in Manchester. Her practice is fundamentally a mark making process through which she creates abstract landscapes by applying a multitude of painted layers and patterns to the surface of canvas and paper.
As well as exhibiting UK wide, selling her paintings nationally and internationally, her work has been accepted into several exhibitions. This includes the Jackson's Open Painting Prize 2021, Ing Discerning Eye, Visual art Open and the Art Gemini Prize 2021 in which she won the People's choice award. Rachael was a featured artist in the BBC documentary about the Royal Academy summer exhibition 2020. She is delighted to have recently won the accolade of "Manc of the Year" with the Manchester based arts organisation Cotton on Manchester. Rachael also interviews artists about their practice on Instagram Live.
