Collection: Rachel Legault
Rachel Legault is a self-taught artist and her medium of preference is oil painting whether it is with brushes or pallet knives. She loves to paint landscapes that “speak” to people.
She says: “My love for landscape painting stems from my love of nature…It’s breathtaking and timeless beauty; it’s bright or fleeting light and the overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility it can convey. I want to move the onlooker, to make them feel like they could just step into my canvas and linger for a few moments while enjoying the view and the peacefulness”.
