Swimming In Starlight - Original Oil Painting
Swimming in Starlight is an original oil painting inspired by the memory of an unexpected night swim in bioluminescent waters. Looking out across the dark water, you'd never know what was there. But step in, begin to move, and suddenly the water comes alive with tiny specks of radiant light, like swimming amongst the stars.
An exploration of faith in the unfamiliar, and of stepping forward without knowing or understanding everything that lies ahead.

Meet Rachel
I'm Rachel Painter - yes, it's really my surname. I paint between the wild Cornish coast and the wide skies of Exmoor, chasing the moments when light transforms everything. The familiar becoming breathtaking. That's what I paint - and what I hope finds its way to your home.
