Rebecca’s high school art teacher told her that she was not good enough to major in art in college, instead she received a Bachelors and Master’s degree in Theatre Arts, focusing on scene design, stagecraft and props, creating art on a large scale. She joined her late husband in collaboration in 1985. Upon his death in 2006, she continued the work that they had pioneered as a solo artist. Nature inspires her work. After 40 years in the studio, she has a passion for exploring new images in both bronze and ceramic and loves the moment a ceramic sculpture comes out of the kiln because, as she says, “It’s like Christmas morning every time.” These days Rebecca and her rescued Springer Spaniel, Dexter, take long walks in the vast open space around her home in the country outside Santa Fe, NM where they often see mule deer, coyotes, rabbits, snakes and lizards and all kinds of birds. Rebecca has participated in Cowgirl Up! since 2013 winning several awards for 3-D art as well as the Museum Purchase Award. Her sculpture is in numerous public and private collections including the John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, FL, The University of NM Cancer Center, Albuquerque, NM, The Booth Museum, Cartersville, GA, The Hockaday Museum of Art, Kalispell, MT, The Desert Caballeros Museum, Wickenburg, AZ, The Phippen Museum in Prescott, AZ and the Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts, Fort Collins, CO.
