REBECCA JOHNSTON

Rebecca Johnston is a prolific artist, creating large acrylic paintings, drawings in a variety of mediums, and ceramic sculptures. 

Working with bright colours, Rebecca’s fun-loving nature is reflected in her works of art, giving each piece a unique feeling.

Dogs show up in most of Rebecca’s work, she captures gesture, personality, and story, reflecting her love and memory of her dog ‘Pippa’.

In 2013, Rebecca partnered with a local sculptor to produce a sculpture seat of Pippa the Dog, which was accepted by the City of Melville for the Deepwater Sculpture Exhibition. The artwork was purchased by the City of Melville as a permanent interactive seating artwork.

She was awarded the Stephen Delower Memorial 3D Award at As We Are Exhibition 2015 and 2017.

Rebecca receives regular interest in her ceramic dogs and accepts commissions upon request via beccadogs@gmail.com

Rebecca is currently working on a new series of portrait paintings, inspired by the women in her life who inspire her. ​
