YellowBelly Art ...... a Lincolnshire Artist
YellowBelly Art ...... a Lincolnshire Artist
Rachel Ashworth-Jerem
For the past 30 years I have worked in the Theatre industry as a Director and Choreographer with experience in costume, set and lighting design. Alongside this creative career, my passion has also been art, drawing and painting.
Five years ago, I made the decision to dedicate more of my time and energy to my painting, combining my artistic skills to consider light, texture, layering and colour in my artwork, working mainly with a palette knife and acrylic paint on stretched canvas.
The subject and theme to my artwork to date has focused on my surroundings, my environment, in particular Lincolnshire. More recently I have started to enhance my paintings with figures, to convey life, movement and action.
I am a member of the Lincolnshire Artist Society, Nadim Art Group and Lincolnshire’s Art on the Map. I am represented by Spencer Coleman Fine Art Gallery, Lincoln as well as exhibiting at Lincoln Cathedral, Doddington Hall, Marschapel Arts Exhibition, Gunby Hall, Patchings Art Centre, Sam Scorer Gallery, The Usher Gallery, Grimsby Heritage Centre and Victoria Hall, Oakham.
I am represented by Spencer Coleman Gallery, based in Lincoln.
Over the past year my work has developed significantly including bespoke commissions for a variety of clients. Recent notable achievements include: ·
March 2020: during the UK’s first lockdown, Lincoln’s iconic cathedral lit up blue to salute the NHS. I was inspired by this and painted the scene, donating it to Lincoln County Hospital. The painting is now hanging in the main entrance.

August 2020: I was one of 18 finalists out of 7000 entries in an online ‘Wraptious Art’ competition.
August 2020: I won the Britain Lockdown Drawing Challenge prize with The Artist & Illustrator Magazine with my painting ‘The Strait’.
