About Rachael

Red Tractor Designs is the creation of Mudgee illustrator Rachael Flynn. She's always had an interest in art and creating things. Originally, a Visual Arts teacher, Rachael left the profession in 1998 to spend more time her little boys. She began painting at home, inspired by scenes from her childhood and from the farm she shared with her husband, Mick. Then after producing a small amount of greeting cards for a local market, Rachael had interest from a local retailer to sell her work. Over 20 years on, the imagery of Red Tractor Designs can be seen on tea towels, tableware, aprons, stationery, calendars and diaries...with some images brought to life as Christmas decorations!

Red Tractor Designs can be found in stockists throughout Australia, as well as in private collections worldwide.

Happy Customers

B Bec , Gooree Park Wines Mudgee NSW

Rachael and her team have been a pleasure to deal with - it has been a seamless process. We love having our very own special range that ties in with what we do here at Gooree Park in Mudgee.

B Bridget G. , Katunga, VIC

I have been purchasing Red Tractor merchandise for many years.

The original artwork is beautifully designed and Rachael has the eye for capturing rural Australia.  Products are of the finest quality and the pictures capture the quotes perfectly. RTD makes gift buying very easy especially with having family overseas 

Customer service is excellent and prompt dispatch time

Always 5 star rating 

 

F Fiona , GV Vets Shepparton VIC

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.

 

M Marcella , Claas Harvest Centre Echuca VIC

'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.

 

M Margaret S. , Willoughby NSW
I have been a customer for approximately 20 years.
Rachael has been a delight to deal with at all times.
More recently, my main contact has been Emma in the office.
Both ladies are genuinely friendly, helpful & patient with any IT difficulty I encountered.
I wish RTD every success in the years ahead.
