I've always had an interest in art and creating things. Originally I was a Visual Arts teacher, but left teaching in 1998 to spend more time with my little boys. I painted a few farm pics back in the 90's, and had some images reproduced onto greeting cards for the local markets. Originally known as 'Rachael Flynn Art' I changed my brand to 'Red Tractor Designs' in the year 2001.
Originally, my artwork was depicted scenes of farm life, such as a wheat harvest, shearing, and mustering stock, all painted on board or paper with a fine brush. In recent times, the RTD images are more 'character based', and are created by digital enhancement of original work, which allows me to produce a greater variety of work, and give characters a more 'consistent' look.
From greeting cards, the range has now grown to include notepads, magnets, books, calendars and licensed products such as tea towels and fabric.
I love our beautiful Australian birds, drinking loose leaf tea, dogs, fair weather gardening, cooking, classical music and random podcasts.

We wanted to incorporate the use of a sympathy card which had special meaning for clients during times of loss and grief. When commissioning a sympathy card for our clinic, RTD went beyond and above to offer a range of options to select from. RTD can also be found in frames throughout our clinic, bringing smiles to the faces of both staff and clients.
'We wanted Christmas cards that related to our customers' lives and the conditions that they work in.Through Rachael's artwork she has created the right atmosphere of what happens with farm life. The team at RTD are very professional and excellent to deal with and we have always received wonderful feedback on our Christmas cards.
