When I was a young girl, my biggest wish for my birthday was to get a big box of crayons with a built-in sharpener.

The idea of coloring with a sharp pointy crayon and create contouring and defining lines was luring and exciting back then.

Today lines to me are more than an enclosing edge of a drawing. They represent the freedom of expressive compositions. The infinite union of beginning and end, telling a story along the way.

I’m Rebeca de Legarreta. I am a citizen of this world where home is literally where my heart is. I have lived in many places but when I’m creating my art, I am home.

I am forever inspired by nature the healer, resilient friend, hopeful giver, speaker of the language of beauty.

I aspire to create art as a bridge, a conversation between the viewer and nature about unexpected beauty found all around us and to share the joy and peace it brings me.
