Rebecca is a fifth-generation Marin resident who graduated from UC Davis in art history and nature and culture. While in the central valley, she spent time studying at DQ Native American University. Searching for art outside the academic canon, she found a Native American basket weaver.  The artistry, ecology, and function of the native baskets became her inspiration.  While traveling throughout the United States and Asia she found remnants of ecologically focused textile art traditions.  Through each investigation she became increasingly inspired to begin a local tradition within her own bio-region. Ecological Arts was born in 2004: an organization dedicated to creating, reviving, and teaching art forms that use resources to promote thriving eco-systems.  Read more about Rebecca.
