About the artist

Rebekah Budd

Rebekah Budd is a multi-disciplinary artist based in The Quiet Corner of Connecticut. She works with collage, painting, bookmaking, sculpture, print, animation, ceramics, photography, drawing, and any other medium she can get her hands on to explore and document personal mythology and family mythology. By sourcing inspiration from her own life her work is able to address and promote discussions about mental illness, therapy, generational trauma, poverty, neuro divergence, sexual assault, religion, and feminism.

She earned her Associates degree in Fine Arts at Manchester Community College in Manchester, CT. And this spring (2021), she will graduate from The School of The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, MA with a Bachelor's degree in Studio Arts. Academic awards include: the Purchase Award at MCC— where her painting “Moonlight at 4am” is part of the permanent collection; the Tufts Summer Scholars Award; and the Dean’s Research Award at SMFA at Tufts. Her work can also be found in the SMFA library archive as part of the artist book and zines collection.
