“I saw a small piece on Rachel’s story and had to Google Studio Spelling. And it was like finding buried treasure when I opened up the website!”

WELCOME TO STUDIO SPELLING!

I’m Rachel Spelling. Before the pandemic I painted large-scale residential murals. During lockdown I shrank my work and began painting miniatures on paint charts and, to my surprise, I discovered a rich, new visual language which is full of possibilities. It allows for a free, uninhibited way of working that I think I’ve been looking for my whole life, and it’s given me a framework to explore all the things I’m interested in - fashion, cinema, interiors, written fiction, music, hopes, dreams, sadness, imagination, memory, history, nostalgia, uncertainty, suspense - all wrapped up in the language of colour. I’m full to the brim with ideas for new work and I’m so grateful for this twist that my life has taken!

Have a browse around and join me on Instagram to go behind the scenes. I sell prints of my work and I release original paintings four times a year. If you’d like to be the first to know about sales of new work (and be in with the chance to win an original painting) click here to sign up to my mailing list.
