ABOUT rEBECCA HEROLD
I am drawn to the meeting of sky and water – to the horizon where light shifts, clouds gather, and reflections blur the line between what is solid and what is fleeting. Through oil paint, I explore these quiet yet powerful moments in the landscape.
Skies and water offer endless variation. A subtle change in light can transform mood, color, and atmosphere within minutes. I am fascinated by that movement and by the sense of both calm and energy it creates. My process is rooted in observation, but guided by emotion- layering oil paint to build depth, luminosity, and a feeling of openness.
The coastal landscapes that inspire me, provide more than scenery; they offer space for reflection. In painting them, I hope to capture not only a place, but a mood- a moment of stillness, possibility, and connection to the natural world.
My work invites viewers to pause, breathe, and experience the subtle drama unfolding in sky and water.
