Rachelle Brady
Artist’s Statement
As an avid traveler and outdoor enthusiast I am constantly in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds us each day. My inspiration comes from the things that I am drawn to and feel a connection with. My paintings are designed to evoke emotion, radiate contentment, and bring happiness. Working in oils has become my passion as I mix the thick creamy paint and apply it to the canvas with various size palette knives.
I want to take the viewer back to a special place and memory. In a world that sometimes feels bleak and dark, I have no greater joy than bringing a smile to a face and joy to the heart.Biography
Rachelle Brady is a palette knife painter born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, who began drawing and painting from an early age before building a professional art career spanning more than a decade. Working in oil with dynamic, bold marks, she captures the emotion and essence of the natural world, often favouring fall landscapes rendered in bold yellows, oranges, and reds. She gravitates toward large-scale pieces, and her florals carry a strong organic feel, built from vivid colour layered against soft creams and whites. As an avid traveller and outdoor enthusiast, her work is designed to evoke emotion and bring a sense of contentment and joy to the viewer.
Brady is a primarily self-taught artist, developing her craft through a range of artistic workshops. She is represented in galleries across Canada and participates in select exhibitions throughout the year.
