She received her BFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design and MFA from Northern Illinois University. As a Fulbright Artist/Scholar, an American Association of Museums Fellowship recipient, and a NEA Grant winner, she is a multiple award winner. Her work situates itself in the border zones between media and types of practices, employing everything from found objects to embroidery, vintage fabrics and household cast-offs. Drawn to projects with historical, literary or political connotations, Rebecca’s work is engaged with excavating the hidden stories and the cultural mythologies associated with given places.
