Rebecca Stansbury was raised in Ohio where her family relished and encouraged creative play and discovery. They were Quakers, artists, and entrepreneurs. This laid a strong foundation for her artistic career. She studied studio fine arts at both Ohio State and Kent State Universities focusing on ceramics and painting.  

As a young adult Rebecca lived in Denmark and Bulgaria for several years. While abroad she immersed herself in understanding the locals’ perspectives on life. These key experiences sparked her awareness of how terms such as ‘fair’ or right and wrong’ can be defined quite differently depending on one’s location and circumstances. and helped her to be more open in her beliefs. These views are at the heart of her working themes. She now lives on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, with her husband.
