"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." Maya Angelou One of the first works of art that I sold was a pastel abstract that I titled Metamorphosis. Because we undergo different periods of evolution and metamorphosis throughout our life experience, I felt inspired to revisit that theme. I was also in the midst of a deeply personal, transformative period when I created this piece. The model’s pose is ideal for the message that I wanted to convey and the butterflies are symbolic of rebirth and change. The message is an unveiling, a discovery, of a new state of being and awareness of our true nature by shedding a cocoon of limited beliefs, and negative thought patterns, as well as societal and familial expectations of who we should be. That state of being isn’t who we truly are. It keeps us bound to an existence that no longer serves us. It is in consciously choosing a path of transformation that we are reborn to our true self.

Artist’s statement: Above all, art is a never-ending process in which you learn something valuable with every creation that you bring forth. My first love has always been drawing. A pencil or pen is so pure and honest. There is an immediacy there that captivates me and satisfies me unlike any other art form. In the words of Camille Pissarro, “It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in it’s true character.” Rebecca Chamberlain’s career as a fine artist and private art instructor began in 1995. She has taught workshops and classes in private studios, museums, libraries, arts organizations and educational cooperatives in Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina, and Georgia. With a deep appreciation for Italian Renaissance, Symbolist, and Pre-Raphaelite art, her work is inspired by artists from these movements. She is also inspired by art from the Golden Age of Illustration, Botanical Studies, and Contemporary Realism. Rebecca’s subjects are primarily portraiture, figurative, and still life. She works in graphite, charcoal, Faber-Castell polychromos colored pencils, ink and oil. Her original works can be found in private collections throughout the United States. In 2010 five of her illustrations were published in the book, Bluegrass Drawing Society, and in 2014 she illustrated the children’s book, Jayden the Gentle, Tall and Gangly Giraffe, written by Lisa Farr Sharon. Rebecca wrote and illustrated the book, Maralee and the Turtles of the Sea, which was published in June of 2018.
