Rebecca West is a multimedia artist whose work has been exhibited widely in the San Francisco Bay Area, and internationally in cities including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Sydney. "For me, drawing is an intensely sensual experience. When everything is going right and I'm in the flow of it, the feel and sight of the charcoal are like biting into an especially delicious piece of chocolate -- sweet, smooth, and slightly decadent. It captures the explosive joy inherent in being alive." Rebecca earned her Bachelor's degree at San Francisco State University and her Masters at Massachusetts College of Art. When she is not drawing, she works as an art therapist with elementary school children, and teaches painting to seniors through the Art With Elders program.
