Hello!
I'm Rachel Quinlan, an artist based in southeast Michigan. I've illustrated for games, book covers and more.
I work in a mix of traditional media (ink, watercolor, acryla-gouache) and digital.

Year of the Wood Snake artwork titled ‘Time for a Change’ in reference to the Lunar New Year Zodiac animals. The red paper and holographic vinyl snake sheds its delicate Tengucho paper skin from the previous year. It is nestled in a laser etched watercolor paper plum tree with copious pink blossoms. The wood surround is also laser cut with shell veneer and 24k gold leaf accents. Year of the Wood Dragon is part of a Lunar New Year Zodiac series and features a cut paper and holographic vinyl dragon emerging from a laser carved wood surround. The green dragon is painted in watercolor and gouache with a wood, paper, and faux jade background. The dragon corners were hand sculpted in clay, molded, and cast in bronze with an antique patina applied. This unicorn piece titled ‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’ is based loosely on the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. The artwork is made of intricately laser cut and layered cloth book papers, embroidered in real gold and silk embroidery threads. The unicorn is painted on cut silk watercolor paper with watercolor and gouache. The piece is embellished with 13k white and 24k yellow gold leaf and vintage glass beads.

A watercolor painting in moody grey-greens, rich indigo, and magenta. It depicts a fae hunting party riding through a smoky moonlit forest towards an eerie red lake. The hunters ride deer-like creatures, and are accompanied by stark white hounds with red heads and long ears. A host of small green glowing pixies trail along.

For anyone who liked my little Pride banner designs, they're up in my shop as stickers, with a few other designs and a smattering of other things!

Getting closer to the end of #Nudivember! This one was fun to paint and it might be one of my favorites so far.

"Bowman Bay" sits on the North side of Deception Pass state park in Washington State. As I walked up the beach, a white heron stood in the waves before flying away. I loved the green of the water in this area.

NGL folks. Moving even just one of these originals would really make a difference for my husband & I with our continually piling up medical bills.🥲 Plz help spread the word, if you can. Even just re-sharing is powerful for small artists like me.🙏
