Rebecca is a classically trained Portrait and Figurative artist. She enjoys capturing everyday moments – those that we take for granted and give little or subliminal attention.
Her figures are captured in very familiar surroundings and absorbed in their own environment, which makes them easy to relate to and empathise with.
“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.”
Last summer Rebecca was selected by David Remfry RA to exhibit in the Royal Academy's summer exhibition. She exhibits regularly at the Mall Galleries, London, including both the ROI and the Royal Society of British Artists where she was awarded the Surgeon’s Prize. In 2021, she was selected for the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize and she was awarded the Michael Harding First Prize in Oil Painting by the Gallery at Green & Stone, London, where she held her first solo exhibition in December 2022.
Her work is in private collections in the UK, Europe, US and Asia.
Rebecca was awarded MA (Hons) Fine Art by Edinburgh University and College of Art after 5 years of study in 2001,
