Today on the podcast, I speak with Rachael Mayne, —an Auckland-based artist known for her large-scale, immersive, impressionistic floral paintings. Rachael is a self-taught artist from a family of creatives, where painting has been a fundamental part of her life for as long as she can remember.
However, Rachel’s artistic journey is only one part of her story. Alongside being a painter, she is also a clinical psychologist. Fascinated by the inter-relationship between art, creativity, and well-being, painting is a therapeutic process for Rachael and a space for self-expression, exploration and reflection.
In this episode, we discuss Rachel’s creative journey—from a lifelong passion for painting to building her artistic style through slow, thoughtful experimentation. We explore how she turned a hobby into a thriving business while balancing a second career, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Rachel shares insights on the process behind her beautiful paintings, exhibitions, selling prints, finding her place in the social media landscape, and so much more.
I know you will enjoy my kōrero with Rachael as much as I did.
