Alpine Glow Forever, 36 x 36
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. -Plutarch
Rebecca uses nostalgia from natural subjects such as flowers, mountains, historical houses and seascapes-but with a sharp, contemporary edge. How to create paintings that exhibit humanity along with high keyed colors and neutrals is a reality she plans on working towards. These two contrasting ideas bring out the energy and complexities of our natural modern world. Rebecca’s work moves in between abstract and semi landscapes because of this, there is a fantastic tension. She is a true champion of using unusual color combos in her work. Her figure paintings and drawings allude to complex relationships and dynamics, sometimes haunting, sometimes intimate always in 17 or 18 century style.
Graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology NYC, she specialized in fashion illustration. Rebecca was a fashion art director for 22 years in the city. Her art career gave her a love of color and a strong design component in her paintings.
