Rebecca's work is based around two main subjects - the drawing of museum artefacts and drawing the natural world. She has a PhD from the Royal College of Art in Natural History Illustration.
Rebecca is currently artist in residence at the British Museum working on a project based at the British Museum ethnographic stores. She was artist in residence (2005-2010) on the Melanesia Art Project at the British Museum and is also visiting research fellow in the print-making department at Sir John Cass School of Art, London Metropolitan University. Rebecca is represented by the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in London. Hossack writes of Rebecca's work: "I find her to have a remarkably intelligent and scholarly approach to printmaking. Her work has a quiet authority and a humming beauty, that intensifies with closer inspection." Rebecca's work is also held at the Printroom Gallery in Hampstead (www.printroomlondon.com) and she has a studio at the Chocolate Factory in Wood Green (www.chocolatefactoryartists.co.uk)
Rebecca runs drawing workshops for both adults and children, including the British Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Linnaean Society. Rebecca is visiting tutor at the Royal College of Art
Rebecca's work is held in the national collections of the Natural History Museum, the British Museum, the British Library and the National Trust (Chastleton House).
