Artist's statement: Painting enables me to transfer my creative thoughts into a tangible form, while temporarily vanquishing unwanted distractions, worries and stresses. My mind becomes a blank canvas, allowing me to add colour and peace to my life. Expressing myself through art is not only relaxing, but it also brings with it a sense of independence and individuality, allowing me to express myself in any manner I wish, at any particular moment in my life. Painting furnishes me with a sense of freedom, enthusiasm and passion, and is most gratifying.

Artist's Biography: Rebecca studied fine arts at the University of Toronto and graphic arts at George Brown College.
