Old World, New World: Paintings by Rebecca Green features works by the emerging Grand Rapids artist.

An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 23 from 6:00-8:00 pm (free admission, refreshments provided.)

While the SCA has welcomed various artists to exhibit during its 10-year history, this show is unique. “This is the first time that the SCA has curated an exhibition of an up-and-coming regional artist,” shares Miranda Krajniak, SCA Education Manager and Exhibition Curator. “Rebecca is drawing attention throughout West Michigan and beyond as a gifted artist. Her approachable yet quirky sensibility was something we wanted to share with our community.”

The collection of selected work is comprised of pieces created during the past year, all of which deal with the joys and perils of everyday life. While the figures within the paintings find themselves placed in imaginative and colorful settings, they are also faced with the timeless glaze that encompasses each piece.

Green is a graduate of Kendall College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration and minor in graphic design. Currently, she lives in Grand Rapids and produces commercial illustration along with gallery work. She also dabbles in retail, three-dimensional work and stop motion animation.

Green’s work has been shown in a number of Michigan galleries as well as in New York and Los Angeles. Most recently, she exhibited at the Gerbens Art Loggia at the DeVos Center for Arts and Worship. Appearances in print include various West Michigan publications as well as national magazines including Bitch and BlueCanvas.
