ABOUT:




In her portraiture, Rebecca unveils female subjects, revealed through expressive layers of mixed mediums that contrast with the intricate structures beneath. With a gaze fixed forward and expressions devoid of smiles, her depictions captivate the viewer's imagination, evoking subjective and personal responses. Often presented as a series without a linear narrative, Rebecca intertwines themes of womanhood with allegory, iconography, comparative mythology, and nods to popular culture, resulting in pieces that oscillate between solemnity and playful irony. Her artistic lexicon spans from enigmatic to whimsical, delicately balancing between nostalgic tropes and resonant archetypes. While blending elements of pop culture and iconography with techniques reminiscent of the classical perspective, Rebecca imbues her compositions with a contemporary flair, blurring conventional artistic styles and forging a unique approach.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
