Rabecca Jayne Hennessey: I have a fondness for changing colors of the Midwest, the summer greens, the winter blues, the spring yellows and pinks, and the autumn reds and oranges. Born in Fremont, Nebraska I developed an artistic nature at a young age under the influence of a red-haired German Grandmother who showed me how to make marks on any kind of paper. After graduating with a Commercial Art degree from Studio Academy of Commercial Art in Omaha, NE, I worked independently as a free-lance graphic artist. I experimented with pastel, charcoal, and colored pencils but developed an interest in oil painting and it has become my favorite medium.

I am a retired social worker and continue to work in art therapy in long term care. Art can reflect beauty and also provide social commentary. I am inspired by all the artistic expression and creativity around me!"
