Featured Artist – Rebecca Christoper Rebecca Christoper started drawing and painting at a young age, and by the teen years, her hobby had grown to a passion. Her focus in her early years was watercolor portraits. Rebecca moved to New York, obtained a job, and had little time for art. She married, moved to Tallahassee, Florida and had twins and art was weigh laid, except for doing chalk drawings with her children. During the COVID pandemic, Rebecca finally had time to pursue art again. Rebecca began to play and discover the possibility of abstracts. In watching pour videos, she decided to mix her acrylic with pouring medium, then swept the mélange of premixed colors onto a canvas and let the color guide her. Veering from traditional brushes, she spread her colors with a palette knife and blew then into shapes with a straw. She started painting every day and began to feel empowered as an artist. In 2020, with retirement, brought the move to Southwest Florida and painting was her lifestyle. She now has works at COCO gallery in Estero and is honored to be the featured artist at Arts for ACT Gallery. This exhibit continues through June 3, 2024. ACT gallery is curated by Claudia Goode with the help of ACT Artists and Volunteers. The gallery is currently seeking volunteers and new artists!
