Rachel Talbot was born in Staffordshire in 1984. Brought up in artistic surroundings it is no wonder that Rachel aspired for a career in the arts.

Her pieces are uniquely modern with there vibrant patinas yet beautifully classic and timeless all at once. Rachel's sculpture have many influences, she is a great admirer of children's illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and Beatrix Potter, like them her attention to detail is above and beyond, not to mention the distinct English humour which is celebrated the world over. Her passions for literature both in adult and childhood has given Rachel an intriguing sense of make believe. "In my artistic journey through life I have every intention of indulging my imagination and like Peter Pan I strive never to grow up!"
