Testimonials
“Through her holistic approach between body and mind, she created a safe and empowering space for a a very challenging student demographic. As life moves at an exponential pace towards digital immersion, Rebecca masterfully intertwines her expertise with art, the natural sciences and the body / mind connection, to remind us of the natural beauty of who we are and our profound connection to everything around us. She has inspired my world view.”
- Gayle Rosen, Makerologie Studio (former colleague at ArtScience Prize)
“Rebecca… has in-depth knowledge in a variety of natural history subjects combined with the ability to develop and present materials on many levels and topics. she has outstanding communication skills, unabashed enthusiasm for environmental education and an easy rapport with people of all ages.”
- Pete A. Money, Former Director of Education, Harvard Museum of Natural History
I’m so excited by what I learned and have shared my experience with several friends.
Every class I’ve taken with Rebecca has been outstanding. I have changed the way I look at trees as a direct result of the small group watercolor class I have taken with Rebecca this year. I find watercolor very calming. The combination of nature and watercolor is incredibly powerful.
I hope to take many more classes with Rebecca in the future.
