Rebecca Meanley
Rebecca Meanley received her Masters in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art in 2003, having previously studied at Nottingham Trent University and Glasgow School of Art. Rebecca is an artist living and working in London, exhibiting internationally. She is Senior Lecturer in Visual Art Practice part-time in the School of Art and Design at the University of Bedfordshire. Her primary practice is abstract painting; writing is a symbiotic practice and photography is used as a continual archival process in the studio. Rebecca’s research is within abstract painting and explores the experience of making - the act of painting itself - as a method of gaining a deeper understanding of our human capacity for creative production - via indeterminacy, improvisational and intuitive approaches to practice.
