Hi, I’m Rebecca. I’m so happy to connect with you!
I am a visual artist inspired by plants and nature.
My art studio + creative gardens & forest sanctuary are located on 6-acres of environmentally sensitive lands near Whitby, Ontario in Canada.
My passion is connecting people with nature through creativity.
I hope you enjoy my art!
XOXO,
