Hello and thank you for subscribing!
I’m Rae — a painter based in York, England, working primarily in oils. Here in Notes of a Painter, I share glimpses into my studio life, the stories behind my paintings, and reflections on art history — especially the often-overlooked women artists who inspire my work.
You’ll receive a newsletter twice a month, filled with:
Journal-style notes from behind the scenes
Sneak peeks of new paintings and works in progress
Offers, events, and open studio news
Thoughts on colour, resilience, and the energy of painting
This is a space where I connect what I’m making now with the legacy of artists who came before — especially women of the Dutch Golden Age, whose quiet power still speaks volumes.
Whether you’re here for art, story, or a moment of colour in your inbox, I’m so glad you’re with me.
Speak to you soon,
Rae
