New York City in the 80’s was a time of economic upheaval and cultural renaissance. As a child, Rebecca instinctively spun a creative cocoon, building a safe space where these two opposing forces could resolve their differences. Today, her art iconizes both the vulnerability and strength that grew out of that space. 
Now,  Rebecca chooses to interact with, and recontextualize, important cultural icons and images creating the worlds in which and with which she paints. While she has deep respect and understanding of the original intentions and meanings of such important icons, she sees them as alive and always delivering new insights. Through this process, she takes an anthropic approach to creating. Constantly interacting with various cultures-extant and ancient; having dialogues with them, learning from them, and crafting her artistic voice, from the generational lessons of their iconographies and imageries.
