In a dedicated effort to enhance the space with regional art, American Art Resources collaborated with Art+Artisans, to commission three pieces of Rebecca's work for their public space.

I then had a chance to view the space, which is a great benefit when trying to "feel" what the piece should exude....in this case it was contemporary and very organic. "Vernal" a 60 x 48 inch piece is large enough to make an impact with beautiful green and brown hues in this serene setting." explains Rebecca.
