About Rebecca
The hallmarks of Rebecca’s painting style – immersive observation and consummate control of the brush – give immediacy and solidity that breathe life into her observations. This visual intimacy creates a dialogue between the senses and the psyche of both subject and viewer. Rebecca explores the endless variety of light on form, finding delight in describing the material world. In her latest paintings, choices of subject, pose, and setting push the conventions of the portrait beyond mere likeness. By navigating the subtleties of gesture and expression, she invites the viewer to consider the portrait between the extremes of instantaneous, passive consumption and considered, active seeing.
