Rachel Scott, Lady Bowling née Tripp (born 20 April 1940 in Fulmerchase, Buckinghamshire, England), known professionally as Rachel Scott or Rachel Scott Bowling, is a British artist who creates "rustic hand-spun rugs", hand-woven with her own spun undyed wool from breeds of British sheep with different coloured fleeces. She grew up in the Somerset, Dorset and Hampshire countryside before moving to London in 1959 to study painting at the Royal College of Art.
