Igniting Penguins - A Manifesto for Painting keytags Trained at the Cranbrook AcademyBritish born artist Rachel Lumsden creates primarily large format figurative paintings characterized by intensely atmospheric, pictorial spaces. Her imagery coalesces on the canvas through a virtuoso handling of paint, evoking visual narratives that come unexpectedly close and yet cannot be entirely grasped.
