Rebecca is a retired teacher living in beautiful southern Illinois. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from SIU Carbondale and Masters in Education Administration from EIU. She enjoys painting, reading and long walks. Sadly, her canine sidekick Emma, who accompanied her for years on her walks has recently passed on. She has had a love of art since a child, and at 10 was illustrating her own stories. She continued to draw and paint through High School, into college, but only for a short while. She grew frustrated there, at her lack of ability to translate her visions through the media that she knew how to use. A few years ago she learned about mixed media and her visions were reborn.
Her only formal training happened in High School and one year of college. Rebecca’s most recent delight came from finding artists online who shared their painting techniques via video. From two large artist groups, she’s cobbled together her own style that is ever evolving.
Rebecca began exhibiting at Little Egypt Arts Center in Marion in 2018 and the PAPA Gallery in Paducah in 2019. Her style is contemporary expressionism. She paints in oil and acrylic, mainly mixed media portraits, florals and figures. She does commission work also. Rebecca has received numerous awards in local shows since 2019.
