Rebecca Robinson, Fiber Artist

Hello! I'm Rebecca Robinson. I live just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina with my husband and two young children. 

​

I've always been a creative soul with a strong love for the visual arts, movement through dance, music, calligraphy and creative writing. I graduated with my degree in Art from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2011, where I had been the worst art student in my class. I couldn't draw, paint or make a mug on the potter's wheel to save my life.

​

After some years of working professionally in graphic and web design, as well as photography, I began to dabble in the 3D arts, creating beaded and floral bohemian bridal hairpieces that would be worn around the world.

​

When I became pregnant with my first child, my creative life took a four-year hiatus while I focused on my full-time job, keeping two tiny humans alive and staying as sane as possible.

​

When my second child was around one year old, I felt a deep pull to do something creative again. I needed an outlet that didn't involve tiny beads and bits of dried foliage all over the floors for those tiny humans to eat. It was then that I discovered the art of weaving and fell in love hard and fast.

​

I grew up playing in the woods, and am deeply inspired by the forest and the earth's natural beauty. I love to create whimsical, enchanting pieces that mimic the organic, unexpected beauty found in nature. I am most drawn to deep, moody and dramatic colors, but often work with bright, pastel and neutral palettes as well.

​

In my e-book, "The Art of Abstract Weaving", I answer all of the questions I am asked most frequently and thoroughly share my process of weaving an abstract piece from start to finish, including over three hours of video tutorials.​

​

Although most of my current work is displayed in homes and small commercial spaces throughout the world, I dream of working on large-scale installation pieces someday.
