“Creating art has always been a passion of mine since a young age. It has been one of the strongest influences in my life, helping me to express things that I usually cannot put into words”

Rebecca specializes in the technique of scanography, resulting in work that is both experimental and spontaneous. With her childhood passion lying in painting, she has been combining these two elements to create work outside of the social normality. Using the scanner as both a camera and a canvas, she questions that way art is formed and approaches the idea of creating art in a new light. Rebecca’s practice allows for the viewer to form their own explanations about the work and apply their own connotations to it. The idea of the abstract has been a key feature in her most recent work; however she also explores ideas that are on a more personal level, usually through mixed media and/or installation to communicate things that usually cannot be expressed with words alone.
