Rachel Pereira @ Strode Theatre

Rachel Pereira  is a prolific artist and is primarily self-taught. Her work includes portraits, illustrations, painted art-furniture, murals, backdrops and canvasses. Much of her work has been her therapy and focus during challenging experiences. Her works are full of depth and emotion as well as rich colour and dynamism. Themes include dreams, romance, travel, emotion and beauty.
This year celebrates 20 years of her creations from 1998 – 2018. The Wardrobe, included in this exhibition – The Witch in the Wardrobe, her favourite piece – was created in 2009 and marked a transformative time; hence the title, where the sublime is extracted from the mundane.
