Artist Rebecca Styles studied at Bradford College of Art, and later Falmouth College of Art. She currently works from her studio in the Outer Hebrides on the West Coast of Scotland. She is a recipient of a Visual Artist and Craft Makers Award, and a Creative Scotland Artist Bursary for her work involving local raw pigments and traditional paint making.
Landscape, and the emotive power of ‘place’, is at the heart of Rebecca’s practice, and her exhibitions stem from extended projects related to place with an emphasis on creating landscape with landscape – using earth pigments, grit, charcoal and other found materials with her oil paints. This collection is inspired by the unique, high energy beauty of the landscape here at the western edge of Europe, where Atlantic weather systems bring drama to our wild coastline.
