Rebecca Crowell received her MFA in 1985 from Arizona State University and since that time has been living and working in rural Wisconsin, surrounded by forty acres of woods and fields. This location inspires her nature-based imagery, while allowing for a great deal of focused studio time.
Rebecca was a resident at the Centre D’Art I Natura in Catalonia, Spain - a remote medieval stone village in the Pyrenees, which marked a turning point towards the abstraction of her current body of work. Painting on small sized pieces of paper that she could easily transport home eventually led to the idea of multiple panel paintings.
Spending time in the homeland of Gaudi, Miro and Tapies also worked a subtle influence on her approach to abstraction. Subsequent trips to England, Costa Rica and New Mexico have all provided new insights and ideas.
Her work is exhibited regularly both regionally and nationally, and is included in many public, private and corporate collections. Rebecca has taught college level courses and has been both visiting artist and lecturer. She is represented by Circa Gallery, Minneapolis; Wilde Meyer Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ; Steven Boody Fine Arts, St. Louis, MO; Midtown West Art Associates, New York, NY; Whytespace Gallery, Plain, WI and Woodwalk Gallery, Juddville, Door Co., WI. |
