Rebecca has been painting since before she could tell time. She loves the freedom and adventure that she encounters with each new project, “I learn a lot about myself while I paint, my methods are always evolving and adapting to new ideals.” Art is her way of looking at the world; the way she copes with it, and her way of understanding the beauty and the madness. Nature inspires Rebecca, but her drive to create comes from her earnest desire to be in control. Often while she paints something magical happens, she learns to surrender; to give up and let go of what she thought the painting was going to be and accept what it wants to become. No painting has turned out the way she planned it. The greatest gift art has given her, is the knowledge that beautiful things occur entirely on their own. This is true for her paintings, and this is true for her life.
