Rachel Morrissey
Rachel Morrissey’s narrative paintings give form and context to an invisible struggle with mental health, motherhood, fertility, pregnancy and daily life.
“I hope to seduce the viewer into this seemingly colourful, jubilant world, leading them to understand that all is not what is seen above the surface. The motifs and patterns oscillate along the continuum of my experience as a mother, finding exuberance, love and joy at one end and utter despair at the other.”
Morrissey’s work continues to “bear fruit” as she chronicles and interprets the usual and unusual curveballs of life and motherhood through art and imagery.
