Rachel English: Heavenly Forms

Rachel English, "Cloudscape 124", 2024

"Born and raised under the wide Texas skies, I have formed a friendship with them over my lifetime. The skies are commonly associated with the heavens, yet they evoke a sense of grounded-ness, too." - Rachel English

Rachel English is an American contemporary artist and painter known for her vivid, hyper-realistic cloudscapes. Through concentration on the skies—celestial, stormy, and strange—Rachel English’s work embodies a perennial urge to gaze upward and grapple with ideas of existential meaning. A lifelong fascination with the fields of astronomy and physics sustains her painting technique, involving layers of oil color and brushwork to describe cosmic forms on canvas.
"Rain or shine, the skies shape our experience in both ordinary ways, and in ways that draw us closer to the divine, through their mystifying light and scale." - Rachel English
