An architect turned printmaker and artist, who uses the world around her to draw and make prints. Based in Southwest England, Rebecca's work beautifully and dynamically describes space, form and atmostphere. Her principal career was as an architect, mainly working with historic buildings, and this has informed the direction of her work towards describing space, form and atmosphere. She starts by looking, drawing and absorbing things around herself, seeing, remembering them and sometimes imagining them afterwards in drawn and printed form. She likes to work in themes: in 2017, she made a body of drawings and prints about her local church, Cadeleigh in Devon, its extraordinary 17th century monument, and the landscape around it. She is currently working on a series of large landscape triptych prints, using small drawings made in a concertina sketchbook as a starting point, but using memory and imagination as well. The act of drawing is a core part of her work, particularly still life, which she can use to feed other work: this sits alongside the printmaking and informs it.
