Artist Biography

“Ever wonder what happened to that girl from second grade that painstakingly handmade each valentine she passed out?  A few decades later and I’m all grown up, now - mostly.  But I never did grow out of that art thing.  Given enough free time, I think I’d still make my own valentines...”

 

 Did you ever wonder what happened to that girl from second grade that painstakingly handmade each valentine she passed out?  A few decades later and I’m all grown up, now - mostly, but given enough free time, I think I’d still make my own valentines...”

             After years of construction paper and crayons, Rebecca Duffy Bush was formally trained at Bucknell University, earning degrees in Studio Art and Anthropology.  Her studies led her to a fascination with culture, folklore, and storytelling which can be seen in each of her pieces.  Practical post college employment brought a career in graphic design that moved her across the country and back, where she finally landed on the coast of North Carolina.  Rebecca loves to travel and continues to gain inspiration from the places she goes and the people she meets. 

Rebecca began painting on canvas and has added greeting cards, limited prints and steel sculptures to her collection.  Also recently added is a line of handmade frames, handcrafted by both Rebecca and her husband, Timothy Bush.  These distressed wood frames are a perfect compliment to the bright, fun-but-sophisticated designs.  From trains and barnyard animals to octopi and mermaids, Rebecca and Tim’s art has splashed its way across the east coast and continues to grow in popularity with each show.
