Hullo!
A bit about me...
Rachael Spiers is a Scottish born illustrator now living and working in Bedlington, Northumberland.
After studying Fine Art and Illustration in the Midlands, Rachael returned to the North East, and over the last 10 years has worked and exhibited in various art galleries before setting up her online illustration business in October 2020.
Specialising in collaborative projects, Rachael designs bespoke illustrations and window displays as well as hosting workshops for private and corporate clients across the UK, focusing on specific details that make each project unique.
Her values include embracing less traditional methods of working, often incorporating found, foraged and recycled materials, which preserves a more sustainable approach to creating.
​
I've worked with brands including Hirestreet UK, ASK Italian, and managed collaborative projects with Northumberland County Council and Hello Hirst.
Venues where I've facilitated Drink and Draw events so far include:
BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art

Payment is needed initially before I will begin any work/ drafts or confirm a date.

Will you travel for my home or company window illustration?
Will you travel for my home or company window illustration?
Yes! I live in Northumberland, but can travel to your home/ business for window illustrations. This cost will just need to be added to the overall charge for the window design,
How does Window Illustration work?
Together, we'll discuss, plan and confirm the full window design including an estimate of time needed, confirmation of fees and any other info.
I draw on the inside of windows using acrylic, washable pens and paint so the design is temporary but will last at least 4 months.
