Growing up as a kid in NYC in the 80’s Rebecca was forced to develop a strong, outwardly protective, instinct, which encased her rapidly growing creative identity. Today her art sets out to express and iconize both the vulnerability and strength fostered in her childhood. When asked “why a bunny?" she states:
“I’m not sure if I chose the bunny or it chose me, but it gives me the perfect avatar to express what it means to me to feel both vulnerable and strong at the same time. Each work of art is born from a personal struggle or memory. The viewer is taken on a series of journeys with this genderless, long-eared character. Venturing out with Greek gods, playing on the Egyptian pyramids, and defiantly swimming with the ‘sharks’ it encounters in today’s society. “To my mind, and eye, these are immediately recognized from widely understood myths and fables and serve as simulacra through which I can communicate, with both seriousness as well as play, with my audience.”
