Life on the land is often picturesque - picture worthy even. So, when a former visual arts teacher moves to a farm in beautiful Mudgee in NSW, you can imagine there would be a fair bit of creativity going on. It started with a few pictures on greetings cards for the local markets. Now, her artwork has gained a loyal following of art lovers around the nation. Rachael Flynn of Red Tractor Designs joins me now to discuss:

• Rachael lives on a gorgeous property in Mudgee New South Wales, and shares her greatest inspiration.
• As a visual arts teacher, Racheal has a creative side which she has used to start imitating rural life with her art.
• In the beginning, Rachael focused on typical farming scenes like wheat harvest, shearing and mustering.
• The evolution from landscape artwork and maps, to farm animal based character artwork.
• The range of products Rachael offers for anyone who’d like to own a little piece of life on the land for themselves.
• Rachael’s most recent major production line has been in affiliation with Nepal to sponsor local disadvantaged women.
• They type of clientele who are buying these products and how this has shifted over the years.
• Rachael’s favourite aspect of country life to paint and design.
• The most unexpected thing to happen since starting the business.
• Rachael’s ultimate dream for the future for Red Tractor Designs
