Rebecca+Reeve+-Sun+Breathing+#2.jpeg

May 2019. Join Rebecca Reeve, STONELEAF RETREAT's All Season Artist-in-Residence, and co-founders Helen Toomer and Eric Romano for a private viewing, refreshments and tour of Reeve's works created at the residency between May 2018 - March 2019. Reeve will guide visitors through her exhibited works, the studio and discuss her practice, before taking guests to visit her works in situ throughout the landscape at STONELEAF RETREAT.

Applying an interdisciplinary approach to her image making, historically Reeve has used grid-like forms as a means to capture, arrange and organize the landscape, painting the blinds en plein air in response to the environment and changing seasons. Her most recent images are visual exercises, alternating the gridded landscapes with scenes in which she paints the landscape itself, further confusing our sensory perception.

If you are interested in learning more or wish to acquire works, please contact Helen at hello@stoneleafretreat.com and note that all sales directly support the artist and the residency program at STONELEAF.
