Rachel Doller is a visual artist from Tatura, a small town in regional Victoria and is known for her strong use of colour, shape and texture.
Doller was brought up in an environment where art was accessible and being surrounded by artistic influences she has always created. She grew up on the family farm but in her late teens was wooed by the bright lights of the big city. After living in Melbourne, Ireland, Scotland and Perth she has returned to the country.
Doller’s work echoes personal musings which are reflected in a variety of styles from eye-catching abstract landscapes, expressive still life compositions and geometric assemblages. Using a variety of media including acrylic, cut paper, oil pastel and ink, Doller creates pieces that are bold and graphic with colour combinations that are dynamic and engaging.
Motivated by the fact that contentment can be found in the simplest of things, Doller’s distinctive visual language is reflective of the nostalgia and joy found in the everyday.
