Artist Statement

Artist Statement

Rebecca Sheardown is a versatile Western Australian artist. Since graduating in 1992 from Edith Cowan University with a BA in Visual Arts, she has explored all types of mediums including printmaking, installation, calligraphy and jewellery whilst being actively involved in the Western Australian arts sector.

Rebecca spends time in her studio exploring her aesthetic diversities, revealing the magic hidden in designs discovered by chance. Her work is driven by a desire to animate that magic.

This includes a fascination for the environment and its infinite biological forms and is inspired to create biomorphic artworks that celebrate the beauty of geometry in the natural world.
