Rebecca Doughty (b 1955) draws, paints, and sculpts her comic and tragic characters (often animal characters) as they navigate a world of human predicaments. She writes: "They're my companions, comrades, clowns, heroes. I see them as stand-ins, for me and for all of us, bearing the weight of our anxious world."
Rebecca's work has been exhibited at The Drawing Center, NY, The Boston Drawing Project, DeCordova Museum, and The Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown, and she has received fellowships and awards from The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ucross Foundation, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Artists Resource Trust Fund. Rebecca lives in Cambridge, MA, and works at Miller Street Studios in Somerville, MA.
