About...

Rachel Van Asch was born 1971 in New Zealand, into a highly creative and unconventional family. As a teenager she moved to London and began her own creative journey which began with singing in a band and designing their stage costumes. That platform gave her the opportunity, in 2000, to start her own design company. In 2006 she moved to Sweden where she continued developing her designs for her own 'Van Asch' brand, which included clothing and textile design. In 2018 she took her experience as a textile designer and began incorporating paint into one-off pieces of art.

Rachel's art is inspired by the archetypal ideas of conception, creation and transcendence e.g; cells dividing, alchemy, the Big Bang... She is also fascinated by faith, mystery and upwards movement.

Rachel uses a wide variety of materials and techniques including acrylic and oil paints and digitally printed fabrics.
