I am currently living on the indigenous lands of the Tunxis, Wangunks, Sicaog, and Poquonook peoples in a place recently known as West Hartford, Connecticut. I graduated from Montserrat College of Art in 2003 and I have attended artists’ workshops in mixed media, painting, drawing, and printmaking throughout the US and Europe. I traveled for a while in the United States, Asia, and Europe and lived in Colorado, Montana, and Nevada— locations that fueled my passion for nature and the outdoors— before returning to the East Coast to be closer to my family in 2015.
I once read a quote, I am not sure who said it, “The future of the world depends on creativity.” It has stuck with me. I think the arts are incredibly important to foster, within my community and beyond. I try to live my life with that in mind. The arts should be encouraged.
I create using paint, collage and mixed media. You can find me on FB and IG @rebeccamaloneyart.
