As a self-taught artist, Rebecca's work is largely influenced by her shared experience with humans and her love of the natural world. From a young age, life’s subtle nuances and turbulent extremes captivated her. After three decades of working as a social worker and registered nurse, she turned to art for her well-being and fell in love with acrylics, texture and a variety of surfaces. Inspired by the nature’s inviting colors and fanciful creatures, she strives to create pieces that evoke calm and candor transcending the harsh angles of our world. Her creations are easily recognizable because of the whimsical birds and ephemeral landscapes she frequently paints.
