Biography
Rachel is an abstract oil painter based in the UK, working under the name A Book of Songs. Her paintings are made from listening; to silence, to frequency, to the felt sense of a room or space and translated into large and small-scale works that alter the atmosphere of the spaces they inhabit.
With a background in 3D design and Fine Art, Rachel's practice sits at the threshold between the seen and the sensed. Her work doesn't depict sound but aims to interpret the feeling and presence of it. Each painting carries an acoustic presence, the resonance of light shifting, of stillness that has texture, of space that breathes.
Her paintings have found homes with private collectors across the UK and Internationally. Her work is well suited to the considered interiors of private homes, hotels, galleries, and architectural spaces where a work is asked to set a tone, anchor a room, or open something in the person standing before it.
Her current series, ‘The Resonance of Presence,’ is an invitation to presence. It is art created for the quiet, expansive spaces of modern architectural interiors where a painting brings its own sound.
Rachel works with collectors & consultants on both original commissions and licensing. She is currently accepting enquiries for 2026.
