Born and raised in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, Rebecca grew up surrounded by a vibrant art and craft community. She fell in love with making functional art during her first highschool ceramics class in 2013. 

Rebecca studied classical ballet from a young age, and completed her last two years of high school as a dance major at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA. 

After graduating from Walnut Hill in 2017, Rebecca moved back to North Carolina to pursue a degree in ceramics, while also taking summer classes from local studios such as the Black Mountain Center for the Arts (Black Mountain, NC) and The Village Potters Clay Center (Asheville, NC) and working in sales for the Southern Highland Craft Guild Gallery in Biltmore Village (Asheville, NC).

In spring of 2021 Rebecca graduated from the University of North Carolina Asheville with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. While at UNC Asheville Rebecca began to discover and explore the connections between her love of dance, ceramics, and historical art movements. 

In the summer of 2021, Rebecca moved to Saint Petersburg, FL, where she completed a two year residency at the Morean Center for Clay. While there, Rebecca was able to teach classes, exhibit work including two solo exhibitions, and be part of an inspiring community of clay artists. 

Rebecca has participated in many national and international gallery and museum exhibitions in addition to highly regarded invitational shows in the Saint Petersburg area.
