Donald, Rebecca

Lives in North Vancouver, BC

Artist Statement

Working primarily in acrylic, Rebecca Donald paints West Coast landscapes using washes, layers and textured applications of paint.  Paint’s propensity to drip, smear, puddle, pool and coagulate provides a visceral interaction with a substance that is fundamental to her interests in dualities between control and chance, beauty and ugliness, the material and the support, as well as between the material and the image. Her works are meditations on place, memory, and perception.
