Rachel Allsop is a UK-based illustrator known for expressive watercolours that capture light, movement, and quiet moments in nature. Her work has appeared on books, cards, and giftware for clients including Scholastic, Hallmark, WHSmith and Papyrus.

Inspired by nature and the shifting moods of everyday life, Rachel paints with a loose, intuitive style—often layering in ink, pencil, or texture for added depth. Alongside her illustration practice, she also creates ceramics and other handmade objects that bring her visual world into three dimensions.

She regularly hosts creative workshops, inviting people of all ages to explore art through playful, hands on making. Rachel lives and works in Lancashire and is currently available for freelance illustration and licensing projects, get in touch if you’d like to work together.
