Rebecca Meyers Art

Artist Rebecca Meyers has always seen herself as an artist. She first started to envision herself as an artist at ten years old but, back then, she saw herself as an artist and not as a painter. However, painting is currently her focus but she lives her life as an artist. Rebecca was born in Vancouver, BC Canada, and she studied at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and at the Langara dine arts at the Ontario College of art and design. She did not start selling her art until she was in her first year of college. She has developed a technique she calls "Crossings" to capture her mental canvas. The technique involves the use of multiple image photographs that she creates using traditional film. Scenes of a specific neighborhood, landscape region or city are merged together, resulting in a photograph that shows the images she remembers when she visits a place. Because the images are black-and-white, the new and the old exist in a timeless space of nostalgia and memory. Framed Rebecca Meyers art come in different frame colors. Now, she has begun capturing the parishes where she was raised, Jefferson and Orleans. It was after the earthquake Katrina that she realized how important this is. She has also begun to gather the inconceivable histories of the cultures and architecture that have existed here. She says that the more she learns, the more she realizes how important it is to continue this project. Her dream is to travel and capture peoples, cities, and towns, and their histories, all over the world.
