Rebecca Worters’s Summary

Artist Statement

Ever since I was a child, garden paths, spaces and secret nooks have fascinated me. In my art, I try to convey a sense of mystery and beauty all at once. The question I'm always asking is "what's behind that vine or archway or flower? What is hidden?"

I love vibrant colors and the interplay of contrasting colors because it gives a sense of depth--looking beyond what is in the foreground. The motion in my work is very fluid, always capturing and surrounding something. The vibrant colors are a sign of mystery-- what is hidden by the vine or the leaf.

As a child I would escape to my grandparent's garden while the adults visited. A winding stone path beckoned to reveal a dreamlike retreat—soft cool earthen floors with walls of climbing roses—for the moment, my own secret garden. In my art I seek to recapture this place where one understands the security of knowing order exists and is therefore free to imagine it as wild and unknown.

When I paint, I feel free and lose my sense of time – as if in meditation. My inner critic seems to put up its feet for a while and have a nice glass of lemonade. I hope the viewer will be enchanted by my work long enough to drift into timelessness, where chronology is fluid and there is no differentiation between past, now and future.

I try to mimic the beauty of nature at a micro level. I rarely paint expansive landscapes. I love the sense of being enclosed and cloistered by nature and free to look beyond for the mystery that is there.
