London-based British/American multidisciplinary artist Rebecca Ashton creates work that lingers between self-referential fact and fiction. Her practice translates written fragments and drawings into unexpected spaces, utilising everything from foraged natural pigments and oils to the raw immediacy of a ballpoint pen.

Bridging the crude and the delicate, she layers colour and texture through persistent working and reworking, allowing her images to oscillate between the deeply intimate and the disconcerting. The resulting pieces unsettle everyday observation with memory and the uncanny, holding a quiet space for ambiguity and strangeness.

Rebecca earned her degree from the Glasgow School of Art in 2020, graduated from The Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing School in 2024, and completed the Drawing Marathon at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2025.

“I like to think of myself as a magpie with imagery, gathering accessible symbols that culminate in a narrative-rich world where more waits to be uncovered beneath its surface.”
