Rebecca Thompson

Artist statement

Most of my work involves a moment captured. A moment that implies narrative, real or imagined . By doing this, I hope to create a sense of anticipation and invite the participation of the viewer. I want to tell a story, but let the viewer supply the details. Washes of light and atmospheric strokes of color are my tools.

Artist biography
Born in Arkansas, Rebecca Teeter Thompson attended William Woods College, Hendrix College and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

She studied art at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and with Guido Frick, Stephen Cefalo, and Terry Rowlett and Albert Handell. Before making the transition to full-time painting, she worked as a gardener at the Arkansas governor's mansion and as a garden designer.
Rebecca prefers to paint on site. If this is not possible, she relies on site-made sketches, color notes, and journal entries to supplement photographic records.

Rebecca currently lives in Arkansas and Maine with her husband, two dogs, and one cat. She is in collections on the East Coast, Arkansas, France, and Bali.
Her corporate collectors include the St. Vincent Foundation, the Patrick Hayes Senior Center, the William J. Clinton/ Thea Foundation, and the P. Allen Smith Garden Home.

Rebecca's work is in Oils, on canvas, linen or board.
