U.K. painter Rachel Arif has exhibited work throughout the United Kingdom. Working with oil paints, often in autumnal colors, Arif paints quickly, pouring much of herself into each work. Arif is deeply inspired by nature, she paints atmospheric weather-filled seascapes as well as landscapes inspired by rural villages. Arif's works capture the power and glory of the natural world- they are graceful, elemental, and pulsing with texture.
