Rebecca C. Adams (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Washington, DC. She graduated from Smith College in 2006 upon completing coursework in studio art, art history, and music theory. Her work in sculpture, video, and sound has been exhibited at the Black and White Gallery (Chelsea, NYC), the Contemporary Artists Center (North Adams, MA), at Transformer (Washington, DC), and other venues in the mid-Atlantic region. She has also collaborated with the University of Maryland School of Dance on site specific sound installations and compositions for choreography. Rebecca has held teaching appointments at the Art League School (Alexandria, VA), the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center (Washington, DC), and she served two consecutive terms on the Public Art Committee for the City of Alexandria. She has participated as a juror and panelist for numerous local exhibitions and events as a veteran community arts advocate in the DC region. Her process-based projects in multimedia painting, sculpture, and 35mm photography explore temporal relationships between current events and the visual language of trauma and decay. Her most recent work uses chaotic textures and colors to communicate the forces and feelings of individual memories, and engages the oscillating dialog between the physical and elemental properties of collage, painting, and drawing media. Rebecca was awarded a 2025 Visual Arts Fellowship Grant from the DC Commission for the Arts and Humanities, and she can’t wait to begin her MFA at Pratt in Fall 2026 (Painting & Drawing). She lives beside Rock Creek Park with her dog, Yoko, and grows vegetables year round.
