Rebecca Kinane
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Montana and surrounded by its astounding beauty, Rebecca Lynne Kinane is an acrylic painter using shapes, motion, and striking color in a unique style that serves to capture the wonder and majesty of the wildlife that guides her paintbrush and calls the Big Sky Country home.
Rebecca Lynne Kinane was born in Choteau, Montana, and has resided in the Treasure State her whole life. Growing up under the Big Sky and surrounded by its beauty, Rebecca has always been inspired by the wonder of Montana: its mountains, prairies, rivers and wildlife capturing her imagination as nothing else could.
Rebecca spent most of her childhood in Ulm, where the quiet of the tiny town encouraged the frequent visits of wildlife to her family’s home. It was here that she began to truly develop her art, starting with color pencil and pencil drawings and eventually moving to painting and other mediums as she grew in talent. She graduated from Cascade High School in 2009 after taking four years of art.
Rebecca has recently returned to her hometown of Ulm with her husband, Roman, and is currently pursuing her art as a full-time career. Her unique style and portrayal of Montana wildlife was inspired by a study she completed in high school centering on the human figure. The study required students to portray the figure in motion, and fill the figure with shapes and colors that represented the muscle structure and complimented the motion being carried out.
CONCEPT STATEMENT
From the ballrooms of nobles to the barns of peasants, the Waltz is an elegant dance with roots reaching back to 16th century Europe. Now, twirling its way out of history and fairytales, the graceful dance comes to life on a new stage- the equine form. Finely dressed couples arrive at the castle, greeted by the music of the orchestra swirling around the dancers as they sashay about the dance floor. Sparkling lights, beautiful dresses, and horse-drawn carriages come together to create a magical evening, “A Night at the Ball”.
