Rachael Foster

Rachael Foster is a contemporary artist. Her romantic themes contemplate the passing of time, blending together a mixture of eclectic vintage sensibilities with modern atmospherics. Her witty and engaging style of painting is intelligently conceived with a comedic twist. Light and carefree, bold and immediate, each Rachael Foster piece is distinctive and innately feminine.

Frequent adventures off-the-beaten-track to exotic parts of the world allows her to source inspiration and an appreciative of what New Zealand is and what we represent.
Her playful inventiveness has seen her develop a brand that is fresh and cheeky; one which has been embraced both here and abroad. Correspondingly, those that appreciate her work range from motorcycle adventurers to vintners to gynecologists. Having established herself as an independent artist in 2003, Rachael creates works that appeal to those who love life, colour and enjoy being in a world where playfulness and imagination are valued.


Rachael puts emphasis on high quality materials, workmanship and ensures that printed works are limited edition. She accepts commissioned work and delivers internationally.
