About The Artist

Artist Statement

My inspiration comes from the beauty of the atmosphere — of the sky and how it’s connected with the earth. Every time I look at what nature is presenting in front of me, the clouds, seductive with the constant movement of the atmosphere, I am reminded that life is constantly shifting and never stagnant. I work in acrylic and graphite, using many layers of glazes to achieve the luminosity of the atmospheric quality in my work. I also work wet on wet and use drips to create texture and atmosphere, which alludes to what’s beneath the surface. Layers and layers of paint are applied on the canvas before I even know how the image will present itself in its final form. My paintings are asking viewers to step into a world of possibility, mystery, magic and atmosphere and to be transported through color and light and texture.

Biography

Rebecca grew up with a spatula in one hand and a paintbrush in another, among a family of artists and cooks. She received her first watercolors at age 5, when she also observed my mother and grandmother transforming mounds of brilliant vegetables into delicious, comforting soups.  She’s blended the two together, as chef/author of 7 award-winning cookbooks and a painter. She finds making art and cooking opportunities to be fully present in life, to pay attention to flavor, color, texture and composition. To be inspired by nature. To be so absorbed in tasks that time expands. Working in her kitchen or studio is an immersion experience, in a vibrant, reverent, tactile, visual world.
