Claire Rackley

Claire Rackley is an abstract artist who creates on Yugarabul country (Brisbane QLD).

Her intuitive artworks are inspired by life's nostalgic moments and express emotion through layers of pigment. Just like the ergonomics of a chair affect the body, so do the colours in a painting affect the mind.

In 2016 Claire had brain and spine surgery which started her art career. At first, she used the paint to distract her from her pain, but over the years it has transformed into something deeper. Claire has combined her art and design into HEALING|CEILINGS (ceiling art) to connect hospital patients to the outside world.

'My art is a song of colour sung over the canvas to make people happy’.

Claire hopes that her paintings bring a pleasurable stillness to life's chaos.
