The paintings are figurative, and in oil or acrylic, with each one also having a different material such as sand or tree branches, incorporated into it.

Rebecca said: “Archetypes are universally understood symbols which have been recorded as being present in art and storytelling for thousands of years.

“Throughout the history of humanity symbols have served as a language of communication from one person to another, from one time and place to another.

“I am interested in the constantly repeating experiences of humans. From birth, to inspiration, solitude, creation, knowledge and inevitably death, the cycles of human life connect all people.”
