Annable's Art

              Bio

      Rebecca Annable is a practicing artist who has been interested in creating art for most of her life. She has worked with many different materials but favours pencil, acrylics, and oils. Her imagination is present, and let loose in her art and its variety. Even though she may not have had the opportunity to experience the mass of creation in the art world, she has always been intrigued when it comes to the who, what, when, where, why, and how factors. Presently searching for the best answer, along with many others, as to what makes art successful.

Presently Rebecca attends St. Lawrence College in Brockville, ON Canada and is in her graduating year of the Visual and Creative Fine Arts program. Before coming to the college she arrived from a small town named Inkerman in the district of North Dundas. Inkerman happens to be a rural area surrounded by fields of mostly corn and soy beans. When attending high school at North Dundas District High she enrolled in many art, and creative classes. She spent most of her time in the summers working for Sevita International/ Hendrik Seeds as an assistant research analyst specializing in field maintenance. She got some pretty strange looks when talking about going for art in college especially because for three years she had worked at growing soy beans and working in test plots, a job that usually someone who would go on to a school for agriculture would want. None the less art was the only thing she wanted to do and be a part of.

Being a part of a class no bigger than seven or eight at the least, Rebecca really got to learn in a small controlled environment. She is continually inspired by her teachers and classmates who are also artists themselves. Rebecca has even gotten the chance to work as a gallery assistant in the Marianne van Silfhout Gallery located in the college. This position has allowed her insight into the prospering and working art world. Meeting the artists that show in the gallery over all is a great learning experience, along with learning how a functioning gallery is run.

Rebecca currently has the original districts first prize Remembrance Day poster hung in the Lions Club Legion in Chesterville. Some of her works are also sold at Winchester’s Art and Book store. She has many of her works for sale herself as well. She has spent quite a lot of time in classes using and experimenting with painting in acrylic and figure drawing, most of which are for sale. She has also started to play around with oil and watercolour paints. She hopes to continue her artistic journey after graduating this year and pursue a continuing education in university in years to fallow.
