Meet the Artist: Rebecca Booth
Since she was a toddler, Rebecca has always loved art. Whether is was cut paper, chalk, crayons, pencils, paints, inks, Rebecca has always been drawn to express the beauty she sees around her. In the early 1990s Rebecca discovered pastel painting. The vivacious colors are what initially intrigued her, but the "Pig Pen" character in her gravitated to the medium because it gave her a "safe" excuse to get dirty!
In case you don't know, pastels are different than oil and acrylic paints because they don't have any extenders/oils to make the paint move with a brush. Instead, the pure pigment is formed into chunks of color which you apply with your hands, much like drawing.
By day, Rebecca is a marketing goddess for her own graphic design and marketing firm, Imagine That! When she's not helping people save money on their marketing efforts she can be found in her home art studio - either making paintings or creating one-of-a-kind fused glass jewelry.
