“Did
you ever wonder what happened to that girl from second grade that
painstakingly handmade each valentine she passed out? A few decades later and I’m all grown up,
now - mostly, but given enough free time, I think I’d still make my own
valentines...” After years of construction paper and crayons, Rebecca Duffy
Bush was formally trained at Bucknell University, earning degrees in Studio
Art and Anthropology. Her studies led
her to a fascination with culture, folklore, and storytelling which can be
seen in each of her pieces. Practical
post college employment brought a career in graphic design that moved her
across the country and back, where she finally landed on the coast of North
Carolina. Rebecca loves to travel and
continues to gain inspiration from the places she goes and the people she
meets. Rebecca
began painting on canvas and has added greeting cards, limited prints and
steel sculptures to her collection.
Also recently added is a line of handmade frames, handcrafted by both
Rebecca and her husband, Timothy Bush.
These distressed wood frames are a perfect compliment to the bright,
fun-but-sophisticated designs. From
trains and barnyard animals to octopi and mermaids, Rebecca and Tim’s art has
splashed its way across the east coast and continues to grow in popularity
with each show. They recently opened a
permanent gallery in historic downtown Wilmington. You can find their whole collection at
River to Sea Gallery, in Chandler’s Wharf, as well as the handmade works of
30 other local Wilmington artists. Rebecca and Tim recently had their third
baby, Amelia Jean. She joins big
brothers Aidan (4) and Finley(2). Each
day is a well balanced circus - filled with laughter, love, creativity and
chaotic silliness. specializing in
the whimsically sophisticated world of bright colors… blue
oceans, green grasses, yellow suns, red umbrellas, and pink polka dots... |
