"My artwork acts as a time-capsule or visual diary of contemporary routines and culture. I am interested in encouraging people to reflect on the way we live today."
Rebecca has always been drawn towards the human figure, whether through portraiture, observation or life-work.
Her work has a reportage feel; the moments she captures are fleeting and could be easily missed. She chooses to depict singular or small groups of figures in quiet, everyday urban settings such as cafes, bus stops, sitting rooms or narrow alleyways.
She uses muted colours, simple backgrounds and sensitive light and shadow. These, she combines with skilled composition and spacial usage to gently suggest or enhance a paintings’ narrative.
Her most recent work uses oils, a traditionally robust, layered and labour-intensive medium. Perhaps this media raises the fleeting moment’s permanence, and thereby importance.
Rebecca is an award-winning, British Portrait and Figurative artist.
Rebecca's work is in private collections in the UK, Belgium, Sweden, the USA, Hong Kong and Singapore.
