Thank you for visiting my
site!
Hi, my name is
Rebecca Tewksbury and I’m a local artist in Austin, TX. I
began my artist’s journey in 2004 while still attending
college in my home state of Upstate New York. While earning
my degree in graphic design, as a hobby on the side, I
started experimenting with abstract art. Through painting, I
had found this place where it was just me, my music, and my
creativity outpouring onto each blank white canvas. It was
as if nothing else existed in that moment when my brush hit
the canvas. From that point on, I knew I’d never want to
stop painting. I never thought my love of art would turn
into an everyday enjoyment. I also work as a freelance
graphic designer and enjoy the balance in my life of digital
design and the physical creation of my paintings.
I am happy to call Austin my new home and love living
downtown where I create my art from the 35th floor.
I paint a variety of styles such as Abstracts, Cityscapes,
Figures, Florals, and Landscapes.
I use acrylic paint on stretched canvas and my art is
exclusively displayed at the ART on 5th Gallery in on West
5th Street here in Austin. I create what I create because it
is what I’m passionate about. Every piece is a reflection of
my personal style that I would hang in my own home and I
love sharing that with others.
My inspirations. . .
I appreciate the way color and texture play together on the
canvas with each stroke of the palette knife. These are the
foundations of my artwork. My paintings usually start with a
color idea, then evolve into compositions in which color and
fluidity are the primary subjects. To me, art is a synthesis
of my personal feelings, the subject and colors that inspire
me and my materials and techniques.
Thanks again and I look forward to working together to liven
up your walls!
