The Survivor

Indeed, this is a "Survivor"! The venerable old tree that Rebecca portrays in this fabric painting serves to remind us of the ages it has seen and the stories it could tell. It is a one-of-a-kind unframed, piece ready to hang on an artist installed wooden bar at the top.

Creating art from fabric and thread, Rebecca sketches with pencil and often watercolors before she begins. She chooses her palette of fabrics and begins free cutting with scissors, pinning many small bits on her design wall. The work progresses with hundreds of pinned bits in layers.

Made in America, in Columbia, Missouri.
