Rebecca is a Fine Art trained floral artist whose love of flowers inspires both her art installations and floral commissions. Rebecca has expertise in Public Art, Events, Weddings, Visual Merchandising and Teaching. She is based in Columbia Road, London.
Rebecca Law is a Floral Artist and has been working with flowers for over 15 years. She was born in Cambridge, 1980. Her love of flowers began to evolve through her art at secondary school. Every creation began to resemble a flower or was derived from a flower and this continued through to University. She studied at Newcastle University and graduated with a BA hons in Fine Art in 2004. During this time Rebecca had experimented in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, mixed media, sculpture and her final years at university were focused on installation art.
Flowers and natural materials are at the heart of Rebecca’s creations. Her drawings and paintings range from detailed to abstract studies of flowers. The sculptures and installations either take on a floral form or use actual flowers within the piece.
Professional Experience
After university Rebecca continued her love of flowers through working for a variety of florists, the most recent being McQueens, where for nearly five years she was their senior floral designer. Her responsibilities consisted of designing original, contemporary and seasonal floral installations for the Berkeley Hotel and the Grove Hotel on a weekly basis. She also had the opportunity to work on high profile events including Vanity Fair parties and designed windows for Mulberry (featured by Vogue), Diesel and Cartier.
Personal Projects
Rebecca continues to draw and paint. She has also created several installations in public spaces. In Summer 2008 she was invited to represent England and collaborate with Norwegian Artist Heddy Castberg at the Eco Land Art festival in Bugnara, Abruzzo, Italy where their land art still remains.
From Janurary to June 2009 Rebecca worked as artist in resident for Anglesey Abbey, a National Trust property in Cambridge. Her objective was to teach ‘Eco Land Art’ with children from both mainstream and special schools. They produced four strong pieces of public land art which can still be viewed today.
Rebecca has recently exhibited her artwork in The Judith Blacklock Gallery of Floral Art, Knightsbridge and The Flea Pit, Columbia Road (featured by The Womans Room Blog, November 23rd 2009 and Cerise UK Blog, November 26th 2009.) These exhibitions displayed a combination of drawings, paintings, mixed media and floral installations.
Rebecca is currently exhibiting in The Crown and Goose, Camden. Where her work contains flowers, butterflies, birds and fairytales.
She also continues to work freelance with flowers and floral design. Rebecca teaches floristry for McQueens, The Judith Blacklock flower school and privately in art and floristry. If you are interested in private Floristry or Art lessons please get in touch with Rebecca (contact details above)
