Rachel Hutchison

Rachel Hutchinson, a Scottish artist based in Edinburgh, creates introspective works that delve into the complexities of human emotion and identity. Her practice is deeply influenced by her experiences in therapy, which inform her exploration of the cyclical nature of personal growth.
