About the artist

Rebecca Rowley (Becky) is a lifelong resident of Beavercreek and is a linocut print artist.

As a kid, growing up near creeks and woods, she formed a lifelong love with the outdoors and the little creatures who live there.

In 2021, she was looking for an artistic outlet and in one afternoon of sorrow, found it. Her Dad passed away in September, 2021 and Becky found herself on her parent’s front porch waiting for a “sign”. She believes her Dad sent monarchs to comfort her and in doing so, gave her an artistic idea to build on.

Becky created “The Monarch & The Sun” in remembrance of her Dad. She typically creates her pieces in a series of 3. “The Monarch & The Sun” is her only standalone piece.

When not in her home studio, Becky works for Five Rivers MetroParks in the administration offices. She enjoys gardening, baking, hiking and camping with her husband Rob and their black lab, Peaches Marie.

About the show

“I am so excited to be a part of the Gem City Catfe. We have 6 cats at our house and my love of felines started with my Dad bringing home a little siamese cat when I was 2. As an only child, Napoleon (Nappy) was my best friend for 14 years. We are ‘foster fails’ at our house, which is how we went from 4 to 6 cats recently. I have created 3 new pieces for this show.”
