Biography

Born and raised in Mexico City, Rebeca worked as a teacher first and then as a journalist. As such, she was sent to Israel as a television reporter. After a few years, she moved with her family to Washington, D.C. where she got her Doctorate. The next twelve years she worked as the Director of international HIV/AIDS education programs, traveling extensively through the United States and Latin America and she published a novel (El Secreto de Cristina). She then moved to Southern California where she lives now and where she devotes her life to the arts. Whether she is painting, sculpting, or dancing, it is in the world of arts where she says “I feel alive, where I am completely happy and at peace. When I am creating, I am constantly learning and growing. There are no limits. I turn on the music, I feel the beat, and the flow begins. There is no sense of time or space”. Rebeca finds inspiration in the deep colors and textures that one encounters everywhere in California, which she conveys in her work.
