About

Metal Art for domestic, corporate and public spaces.

I fell in love with etching metal twenty five years ago whilst studying metalworking. Since then I've used this process, alongside an ever growing palette of metal colouring and finishing techniques, to find new ways to capture images in metal.

I make work which is both sensitive to and reflective of the environment in which it is housed. The objects, surfaces and quality of light we surround ourselves with can create a unique and deeply emotional connection with our environment.

My influences include both the built environment and the natural landscape. Visual and historical research are fertile starting points when investigating the subject of a new project; further informed and developed by drawing, printmaking, collage and photography.

TESTIMONIALS

The work Rebecca produced for a superyacht project recently was really magnificent. It was a fairly tight schedule, but she delivered all 24 pieces on time and our clients were absolutely thrilled with the results.   Delightful as well as professional, we really enjoy working with Rebecca and look forward to commissioning her in the future.

Thank you!   It’s always a pleasure selling your work – a) it absolutely does what it says on the tin and b) you are incredibly well organised. Very few people produce work like yours and nobody matches the quality of your work. Beautiful craftsmanship and lovely materials. You are fast, efficient and responsive

Wow – I absolutely love it; thank you so much for all the care and attention you put into it. I think it’s perfect and I’m sure the client will be delighted.

Forming a circle from an arc of zinc and an arc of copper, joined axially. The surfaces of these two metals are etched with the techniques of intaglio printing, whether in the graceful complexity of line or the burnished scoring as if with a paint brush. These perfect circle wall hangings are an extraordinary work, scratched, scraped and waiting, just waiting, for the changing effects of age, elegantly created for the long away and manifesting future.
