Rachel Howard is a London-based painter whose work was most recently featured in Freedom and Genius: Works from Damien Hirstâs Murderme Collection at the Pinacoteca Gianni e Marella Agnelli in Turin, Italy in 2012. Howard, who got her start as a studio assistant for Hirst in the early 1990s, is known for using common household paint to portray profound subjects like religion, sexuality, and death. Her paintings and drawings often appear to be shrouded in a veil of water, as though suspended at the bottom of a pool. Her work has been exhibited at Gagosian Gallery, Haunch of Venison, White Cube, among many others.
