Rebecca spent most of her childhood in Herefordshire where she lived in a remote location without electricity. Throughout her life she has been fascinated by the objects we collect and surround ourselves with. This magpie element has inspired her work, where found pieces of pottery and other objects have made their way into her art, reflecting her childhood fascination for what she describes as “treasure hunting”.

During the eight years she lived in Portugal, colour became an increasingly important element of her work, leading her to experimenting in combining collage and paint. She believes the light of the Portuguese sun brought her painting alive and inspired new ideas and direction.

During her career she exhibited her work in Germany, Portugal and in the UK.

Rebecca obtained a Master of Arts in 2015 from Hereford College of Arts, a Bachelor of Arts, BA(Hons), in 1992 at Bradford and a National Diploma in Applied Art and Design in 1988 from Hereford College of Arts.
