bio
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, and she advocates for community arts outreach programs in the DC region. Her ongoing projects in multimedia painting, sculpture, and 35mm photography explore displacement, loss, alienation, desolation, disaster, and tragedy in addition to more esoteric and spiritual themes. Her most recent work uses chaotic textures and colors to communicate the forces and feelings of individual memories, and asks if we believe what we see, or if we see what we want to believe. Rebecca lives beside Rock Creek Park with her dog, Yoko, and she aspires to earn an MFA in the near future.
