Rebecca combines primitive and modernist styles, rendered in bold oil pastels and embellished with recycled fabrics of ethnic and 1950’s designs to produce poetic work that is both simple in pretext yet emotionally powerful.
Now Rebecca feels more in love with her work than ever and resents any commitments that take her away from it.
Her inspiration comes from the fabrics she sources from a variety of places, including her friends who have become collectors for her. She gathers ideas in the evenings and paints during the day.
She loves ducks and cats and has them wandering around her home.
Her artist partner, Ross Miller, lives on the same property and they share a garden.
Rebecca is happiest when she is creating. She can’t work when she is sad or tired.
She is touched by the emotions her work imbues on other people. |
