About
For Rebecca Rivas Rogers drawing is primarily an exercise in problem solving. The richness of color and form found in utilitarian materials, like drywall tape and shipping boxes, become makeshift sculptures and drawings with a playful disorder that mirrors the provisional nature of the urban landscapes that inspired them.
Originally from Northern Ireland, Rebecca Rivas-Rogers holds a BA in Design from Glasgow School of Art and has worked in graphic design throughout Britain and the United States. She began teaching art at a school for deaf children in Colombia, South America before completing an MFA in Studio Art at Maryland Institute College of Art, where she is currently an adjunct professor. Rivas-Rogers joined Arlington Arts Center as a resident artist in June of 2020. Working primarily in drawing and sculpture, Rivas-Rogers creates work that reflects the temporary nature and ordinary strangeness of utilitarian environments and materials.
