Ah, yeah, g’day, thanks for looking me up. I’ve been wielding a “proper” camera since retirement in early 2022 and an iPhone since early 2020 when I began haunting Sherbrooke forest during lockdowns. For someone with no art or photography training and I suspect I really didn’t know how to see it was quite surprise when people began asking for prints of my macro shots of the little things - mushrooms, insects, spider webs and so on.

Chazown Creative Fine Art

Hello, I'm Rachel Williamson. I live in Melbourne, Australia with my husband and two children. I was born here, but grew up in Canada and moved back on my own in my mid-twenties.
I started ChazownCreative in 2020 after carrying this dream in my heart for a long time. After a time of soul searching for new growth, I stepped out in fear and faith to share my acrylic and watercolour paintings.

Being a self-taught artist, I have undertaken a number of artistic endeavours over the years but have concentrated on painting in the last 15years.
I work mostly in oils, watercolours and acrylics but have been exploring mixed media and alcohol ink. Exploring colours and textures, experimenting with different techniques and merging these to create original pieces of art.
