Rebecca Carr West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Back to profiles

I'm a fine artist and illustrator. I have taken part in events and exhibitions, I have taught at various times over the years. As well as selling my cards and prints through my business lalabuds: I am now developing my painting and art practice as Rebecca Carr Artist, I explore the relationship between indoor still life, outdoor landscape and the link between.

I am currently painting and enjoying bringing this into my practice. I explore the relationship between indoor still life, outdoor landscape and the link between by firstly taking the time to be with and connect to the subjects I paint. My work is intuitive and a mixture of realism and interpretation, like a language between me and the subject I'm painting. I am always looking for ways to develop what I do and my aim this year is to be able to build on commissions, exhibitions and and work towards areas where I can share my practice in time like workshops.

'My desire is to connect with the materials, build bonds with the canvas, sit in the sunshine, or that tinkling of rain and fluttering breeze, observe and paint. Mastering my interpretation of colour and materials, understanding my connection to the subject and exploring is my main objective. Observations and humour have encompassed themselves in my old drawings. Now I'm here tantalising ideas with brushstrokes, observing the landscape or celebrating a group of found objects in the form of a still life. I don't adhere to the rigidity of categorisation, I ebb and flow with the flux as the creative passion drives me, quietly acquainting myself with my work.'
