About The Artist

When I was in my 20s, I used to love seeing artists at work in Place du Tertre in Montmartre and going to the museums to see the great masters' paintings in Paris and Lyon (the town I come from).

I was a nurse student then…I also started at that stage to initiate myself to art work with a friend of mine who was becoming a professional artist.
I met my husband during my nursing training and moved to the UK 1 year after qualifying as a registered Nurse. My career soon took off and I also became a mum with 3 children, one of whom is autistic. The consequence of this, was zero time for art.

However, 10 years ago, I picked up my courage and enrolled in an art group run by qualified teacher Jessica Shaw. On the first day, I felt like I was the new kid at school 😂, wondering what the devil stung me to give painting a go.

I could only attend sporadically as my time was divided between France and England and family commitments in both sides.

I think it was good to learn the basics with that group, which was as much about the social side of being with other artists. It reached a point where I felt that I was learning more by myself, so I started to use Youtube instead, seeing how other artists approached their work. I felt less frustrated by doing this and happier with my progress.

I have extended my work since leaving the art group, to all sorts of topics. I enrolled on a course for portrait painting, something I always wanted to do, but was scared to attempt. I completed my first portrait which I was thrilled with, as Mike Skidmore, my teacher, gave me the best compliments and encouragement I could hope for. He believed in me and at times when one gets down, it was the best therapy to spring back in confidence.

Having started painting properly about 8 years ago, I am now completely hooked, despite the frustrations and bad days when everything appears ruined. Renoir said “I have so much to learn”. Well, I just have to join the club and keep on learning.

I only came to terms with selling my paintings 2 years ago, as before I felt that I was selling my babies. I have given away a large amount to friends and family.

About The Artist

Rebecca Hurst’s work is an exploration of light, tone, colour, contrast. She paints still life, landscapes and abstracts. She is fascinated by shadows and light and the shapes created. She takes her inspiration from the countryside, farm machinery and architecture.

Photographs and sketches are taken back to her studio in Winchester where she paints mainly in Acrylics and Mixed Media.

“For me, it is not simply about the entire view or object which I choose to paint. I love to focus in on certain areas which might go unnoticed. A rusty tractor engine; pebbles on a beach; the lock of an old door; peeling paint on a sign.

Exploration and play are an important part of my painting process and layers of paint are added before the final painting begins to take shape. I want to create art which encourages the viewer to notice the beauty in the unexpected.”

Rebecca graduated from Surrey Institute of Art and Design, gaining a BA in Graphic Design (Visual Communication) and worked as an account manager for many years. In 2013, she chose to focus full time on her painting and has been developing her artistic practice ever since. She has taken various online and in-person workshops.
