Artist Statement:
Growing up in a family drawn
to the outdoors, Rebecca has
always experienced a closeness

in her mid teens.

as well as their habitat. She
often participates in many
wildlife and habitat
conservation fundraising
events to raise funds and

Her style and technique are
primarily influenced by her
