Rachael Clewlow (b.1984) is a painter and printmaker who has created a visual language that reflects an obsessive desire to map out and document her own experiences of the world. Her work follows a tradition of reductive abstract painting, informed by the aesthetics of cartographic design but shaped by her love of colour.

She was born in Middlesbrough, graduated from Newcastle University with a Fine Art BA in 2007, and is now based in Newcastle upon Tyne. She exhibits her work in galleries nationally and internationally. An ambitious new work, Tees Colour Register, was recently commissioned for Middlesbrough Railway Station.
