Rach Wellbeing is a multidisciplinary Romany, neurodivergent and disabled artist whose work is deeply rooted in lived experience, intuition, and connection to the natural world. Through sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media, she explores themes of transformation, fragility, resilience, and the unseen dimensions of human identity. Creativity has been a lifelong companion in her journey, shaping both her artistic practice and her understanding of self and community.

From an early age, Rach found refuge in creative expression, using art to navigate challenging environments and process lived experience. This early connection to creativity shaped much of her life, alongside periods of personal exploration, including time living off-grid and developing meditative practices that continue to inform her intuitive working process.

Rach began her professional creative career in commercial animation and design, contributing hand-drawn work for major brands including Nintendo and Rice Krispies. She later worked in large-scale design and production, collaborating on projects for clients such as Harrods, Marks & Spencer and Regent Street installations.

Although she loved the creativity and opportunities of the commercial art world, she found its competitive nature increasingly at odds with her personal values and collaborative ethos. Alongside this work, she developed a strong commitment to community arts, working as a workshop facilitator, project leader, counsellor and creative mentor.

Following a break from her own artistic practice beginning in her early thirties, Rach returned to art after becoming chronically ill and disabled. Initially encouraged to attend an Art on Prescription course, she rediscovered the importance of creativity in her life.

What began as a therapeutic opportunity developed into a renewed artistic direction, leading her to complete a BA (Hons) in Ceramics and an MRes in Art and Design Research, focusing on inclusion and diversity.

She subsequently began PhD research, but officially withdrew from university in 2025. Despite the encouragement and support of her tutors, she encountered significant challenges navigating an academic system that did not adequately accommodate her disabilities.

This experience further reinforced her awareness of the structural inequalities faced by disabled people in higher education and the arts.

Today, Rach works as a multidisciplinary freelance artist, consultant and advocate within disability arts. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and she continues to explore how creative practice can foster connection, empathy and understanding across diverse communities.
