New Orleans Native, Rebecca Pons is an Artist of the Dreamy Utopian Emotional World and mystic beauty of New Orleans and Louisiana, living and working in New Orleans, LA.

 

 

As a Visual artist, Rebecca's bodies of work that evoke the emotion that she is feeling and the dreams she is having as well as the beauty of New Orleans and Louisiana.

In her work, she deconstructs the fantasy, emotions, dreams, feelings, fantasy and southern culture and nature by creating the the image and she feels it. All of her art has underlying meanings in the style and technique based on emotions. Dark and light spectrums of fantasy develop from the depths of her mind and imagination. All of these styles are created in her own stylized manner using watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink, and digital mediums.

 

 

While she uses a variety of materials and processes in each project, her methodology is consistent. Although there may not always be material similarities between the different projects they are linked by recurring formal concerns and through the subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the forms of the work.

 

 

Each collection consists of one work or thought, sometimes in a range of different medium or just one medium, grouped around specific themes and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work.
