ARTIST STATEMENT:

Rebecca Darlington is an abstract painter and collage artist. She uses lace as a structural metaphor which veils her work with floating particles of light. Growing up, she moved frequently from one foreign country to another, that desire to belong to a place is evident in her practice.

BIO

For 25 years Darlington lived on the side of a mountain in the Hudson Valley. Her only neighbors were towering trees, herds of deer and spectacular seasons of color. The impression of that time and the link she formed with earth elements left a permanent imprint in the back of her vision field.

Since 2000 Rebecca has been involved with her studio work alongside a career in advertising. She has a BFA from the University of Georgia and additionally spent many wonderful semesters at The Woodstock School of Art. Rebecca has been a fellow at many artist residencies notably; VCCA in VA and FR and CAMAC in Champagne FR for 2 fellowships. From 2013-2015 she was a member of Gallery 66 NY in Cold Springs. In 2018 her Mobile of 200+ Figures hung at the Nashville airport in the Delta Atrium for a year.
