This exhibition invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and consider the ways nature can offer both a reflection of change and a place to belong. Following the cycles of growth and renewal in the gardens at Delaware Center for Horticulture and surrounding green spaces, these abstract paintings use lively marks to explore the beauty of nature alongside the language of paint.
Artist Bio:
Rebecca Howell is an abstract artist based in Wilmington, Delaware. Often working directly from nature she interprets unassuming greenspace and inconspicuous tangles of branches and weeds to capture ephemeral moments. Inspired by the spaces between plants and air or the layered texture of new growth on old ground, she draws with her paint, layering, blocking out, and scratching through the surface in a celebration of sensory mark making.
Rebecca earned her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she later oversaw sales in multiple galleries. Her work has been exhibited regionally, including at Abington Art Center, Rehoboth Art League, and Wayne Art Center. She has been the recipient of multiple Artist Opportunity Awards from the Delaware Division of the Arts. After spending nearly 15 years as the Manager of Studio Learning & Creative Engagement at the Delaware Art Museum, Rebecca continues her work as an arts educator and community connector while maintaining her studio practice as a member of the Ladies Art House Collective in studio 2R at The Delaware Contemporary.
This exhibition is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.
