She has won a scholarship "progetto Feroci" collaborating with the art University of Bangkok in the elaboration of an artistic project for the city of Florence.

Beyond all that,
This is my biography. It will speak about me as a person,
of my thoughts,
of my vision,
of my struggles,
of my fears.
I will try give you the keys to read inside my art and maybe, possibly, hopefully find that key to read yourself too.
I am just a person who was BLESSED with the amazing talent of art. Who was blessed with the gift of seeing, envisioning and creating things other humans don’t see, or see in a different way.
I am Rebecca. And I breathe, live art in ALL I do.
I believe creation happens not only in the moment you decide for it to come to life, but it happens constantly if you approach it with the perspective of an active person, who decides for things to happen and doesn’t just allow them too.
Who approaches change, challenges with strength and vision to overcome it according to your spirit and will and not according to what should or shouldn’t be right.
Art happens when your life, in all you do, is INSPIRED, created by you and you embrace the opportunity to guide it and courage to change it.
I struggle like all people to find my way as an Artist.
I struggle daily to be able to set myself free from any trap I am drawn into by myself or others.
I struggle daily to listen to my heart, mind and soul and follow it no matter what it is and how much it seems WRONG.
I create my fears, I bring them to life expressing my sorrow, my pain, my silence and my joy.
I am at 100% in a moment but can be down after another and I LOVE THAT.
I love me.
I love me not as an artist, not as a creator, not as anything.
For I can be all things or none of that as long as I am me.
AUTHENTIC ME.
Finding the courage to be inconsistent.
Hope in these words you see me, and in my art you see me.
No matter how it looks or what I have done,
that doesn’t make me, me.
LOVE.
