Rebecca considers herself to be a Protean Artist.  Inspired by the world around her, she can often be found taking photographs to capture the little moments of beauty found in everyday life.  Those photographs inspire her choices of media, textures, and colors. 

"I would happily describe myself as a late bloomer. I didn't finish college until my late 20's, I didn't get married and have my child until my late 30's, and I didn't get introduced to the other passion of my life (creating art) until my late 40's. Now in my 50's (gulp), I am gleefully standing up to say "I am an

 artist!" Rebecca

Some of my tools and dye containers
Born and raised in the Pacific NW, I have always had a love for the natural world.  I bring with me a history of working in the business field, an AA degree and a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biology, and a lifetime of being a crafter and maker.  All of these pieces of my life melded together on that fateful day when (on an retreat) I discovered the joy of painting on silk.  From the moment my brush-filled-with-dye touched the silk, I was hooked!  Now I've expanded my art practice to include Acrylics, Mixed Media, Watercolor, Fiber Arts, Collage, and Silk Paintings.  I am excited to see where my art takes me next!
