Born and raised in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, Rebecca grew up surrounded by a vibrant art and craft community. She fell in love with making functional art during her first high school ceramics class in 2013. Having studied classical ballet from a young age, she completed her last two years of high school as a dance major at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA. 

Currently, Rebecca holds an MFA in ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design (2026) and a BFA in ceramics from the University of North Carolina at Asheville (2021). She has attended artist residencies at The Morean Center for Clay (Saint Petersburg, FL) and Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts (Newcastle, ME) and has participated in numerous juried and invitational exhibitions. Recent awards include third place in the International Museum of Dinnerware Design’s Picnic (Kingston, NY), best in show for ceramics in New Hampshire Art Association’s Clay and Ink (Portsmouth, NH), the juror’s award for ceramic in Wayne Art Center’s Craft Forms 2024 (Wayne, PA), and first place in Lighthouse Art Center’s 2023 functional ceramics show, Little Lush (Tequesta, FL).
