Bio

Rebecca works where visceral emotional landscapes become a site of artistic transmutation. She is a photographer and illustrator who forges soul fragments, ancient wounds, and the beauty of nature together in a deliberate merging of opposites. Based in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, Rebecca's early influence in tech along with her educational background and career in commercial photography provides a solid foundation that continues to support her evolving process. Aside from photography, she also uses animation, pastel, watercolor, ink, and charcoal to create her images and designs.
"I work with light, pixels, symmetry, and unseen forces to illuminate the layers and substrata beneath things, so they can be known and felt. Threads of feminine consciousness and the undercurrents of nature and subconscious realms are the pulse of my visions, and the place where my artistry keeps expanding beyond the limitations I once allowed my career to set for me. I've built my latest process through relentless experimentation and through the shedding of countless creative identities and roles. Emotional atmospheres of past traumas have opened gateways of images, patterns, colors, and a slow collaboration with myself as I merge with new skills and call back my scattered pieces.
Photography was my first method of working with light, where I built my career and learned to create images that tell stories. Collaborative portraits were the heart and soul of my work for a long time. Lately, I've been shifting toward more tactile mediums that offer organic flexibility while layering in digital techniques. I choose colors that vibrate with the energy around me, sketch a series of images, then scan the final piece to animate and refine through digital processes.
For me, being an artist is about creating a world where imagination feels available and expansive for everyone. I hope that my offerings can provide beauty and evocation in times of numbness, validation and soothing in times of suffering, and a sense of freedom in a world where artistic expression is deliberately suppressed."
