Profoundly deaf and dyslexic, Rebeccas dream of becoming an author sometimes seemed unattainable and overwhelming. Born and educated in Nottingham, she achieved distinctions in her BTEC Art and Design course and took a Foundation Degree in Fine Art, again gaining distinctions. On finishing her courses, she decided to work for herself as an artist, experimenting with different media including crafts and textiles. Her aim is to incorporate her passion of wildlife conservation, the wellbeing of children and heathy cooking into her work.
