Rebecca Denton
With a background in Performing Arts, Rebecca has translated her love of storytelling into printmaking, creating whimsical and dreamy narratives; conceptual images where imaginary characters inhabit magical settings. Rebecca’s preferred technique is etching, however she also enjoys the spontaneity, light effects and movement she can achieve with monotypes.

“I love it when a person connects with my work, when they get lost in the image, carried back to their childhood or feel inspired”.
Rebecca exhibits widely in the UK, has prints archived in London’s Victoria & Albert museum and her work continues to be sold globally. See below for recent exhibitions and membership.
