REBECCA LEWIS SMITH

Rebecca’s experience as an artist began with a love for abstract expressionist painting, followed by an early career creating contemporary stained-glass window designs. She is well versed in oil and acrylic painting, charcoal, mixed media and pastels.

Much of what Rebecca does in the studio is deeply influenced by both modern and ancient art, and she revels at exploring any and all art museums. She is particularly fond of abstract expressionism and expressionism in general for the way the styles communicate the individuality and spirit of the artist.

The artist holds a BFA degree in painting and drawing and an MS in education and has taught both art and gifted education in Missouri. She is a Freeman Foundation Scholar participating in study abroad in both China and Japan. Her most recent studies were with Cold Wax Academy in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  She is a juried artist member of Best of Missouri Hands and an artist member of Fresh Gallery.
