Covenant "We were looking for a painting that would suit a large meeting room. We wanted to project a sense of sharpness, boldness and energy - the very opposite of sleepy consensus. "Covenant" was exactly right and certainly attracts people's attention." Francois Barthelemy Partner, F&C Partners LLP Part of the F&C Asset Management Plc group |

Noli
Me Tangere "The minimalist white walls of our new colourless offices needed something that would stir animation. At the same time we wanted a painting we could live with. Noli is bold in colour but also has depth and intimacy: people are drawn into it. It has become the focus of the office." Francois Barthelemy Partner, F&C Partners LLP Part of the F&C Asset Management Plc group |

Trewassick "I first visited Rachel's studio some ten years ago. I was accompanying an art dealer friend and fell in love with Rachel's abstract paintings. Twenty minutes later I was the proud owner of "Trewassick", a beautiful abstract with strong messages and colours. The painting has remained one of our favourite works. As the light changes the mood changes - the composition constantly draws the eye from across the room - it is always a pleasure to reflect on, and explore." Nigel Oxbrow Chief Executive, TFPL Ltd |

Jupiter "Her paintings celebrate colour and life. They mix delicacy and strength. The mark making can be complex, never overbalancing the beauty Rachel has created. I have lived with 'Jupiter' for some years now, it's a central painting to The Planet Suite, and I still revel in its power and its richness. It is endlessly absorbing. As it happens other buyers have made approaches ... but I will never sell it." Chris Haydon Director, Community TV Trust |

Uranus "This painting reflects my life both spiritual and material. It has a central role in my life and I wouldn't be without it. I meditate in front of it every day and if I was going to an island I would take it with me - nothing else at all. It's so vibrant and full of life. Very positive." Martine Henry Collector |

Mars "I have always wanted a large abstract painting. Drawings are my first love and I especially like the way this abstract is drawn with paint. Rachel is wonderful at drawing. The colour (colour is very important to me) is just knock out. I always seem to find new colours each time I look at the painting. I always find it peaceful, but yet dynamic and refreshing." Jo Smellie Model |

Saturn "The painting hangs on my living room wall. I feel its presence there and find that it acts as a beacon to my subconscious, trawling through it and helping me orientate my mind for the day." John Veal Film Editor |

Neptune "I have two very good friends who share my home, they are Neptune and Venus. I do not pretend to know or understand a lot about abstract art, but these paintings appeal on many different levels. I never tire of them. There is always something to look at, whether it is the power of the whole canvas, or a colour relationship, or even a brush stroke. These are friends whose conversation never bores me and whose beauty is unfading. I am delighted that my children have made friends with Neptune and Venus, as in time they will become theirs." Tony Druttman Dentist |

Venus "Even after so many mornings of being dazzled by the passionate and raging planet of Venus, it still wakes me up and starts my day off with a blast." Helena Druttman Daughter of the owner |
 |
Aquarius "I have an abstract painting of Rachel's that embraces a series of blues and greens. I look at it frequently. Each time it is different, each time I discover something new... and it will be like that forever." Colin Wilks Partner Deloitte and Touche, Warsaw |
 |
Cornwall "This was one of the first purchases of 'original art' we ever made. We never thought of ourselves as people who buy 'original art', like most people we were hesitant and unsure. Seeing this picture we were both immediately struck by a sense of calm it evinced in both of us. Through its confident sense of colour, beautifully contained in rectangular shapes with cleverly fluid boundaries, there is containment, openess, and like the sky, a sense of changing possibilities." Loretta Loach and Judith Lowe |
