Statement

As both a Visual Artist and Art Psychotherapist, Rebecca is engaged in and concerned with social issues that involve the taboo, the marginalized and the hidden. Her work seeks to explore and express the psychological and emotional impact on the individuals involved, frequently exploring loss, pain, impermanence and transition. Currently her work is an exploration of female infertility and the mother identity in women.
