Canvas and Creativity
The Artist Behind the Canvas
With a rich career spanning over two decades, Rebecca Aldernet's art includes paintings, drawings, digital works, and sculptures. Drawing from her diverse experiences in commercial art, art direction, animation, and photography, Rebecca's unique style has earned her acclaim at art fairs from New York to Canada, captivating audiences and collectors worldwide. Rebecca's work challenges conventional portrayals of figurative subjects, celebrating human connections. Her vibrant canvases reveal the intimate connection between humanity and the rhythmic tides, where each brushstroke breathes life into ordinary moments: Maria in St. Martin's, Jane in Rothesay, Freya in Wolfville. The paintings are as sophisticated in concept as they are complex in execution, each crafted with acrylics, pencil crayon, oil and mixed media on canvas. Now focused solely on oil paints and pastels, Rebecca continues to explore and capture the essence of her daily inspirations.
