Rebecca Padilla-Pipkin is an interdisciplinary visual artist and educator based in Phoenix, Arizona. Since moving to the United States at age 10, she has lived a transient life and is influenced by the many places she has lived. Her work explores ecologies of place through a wide variety of site-specific materials and processes that index moments of interaction between the human and more-than-human. Ultimately, she strives to make work that deepens the care and attention we give to the places in which we dwell.
Padilla-Pipkin received a BFA from the University of Oklahoma and an MFA from Arizona State University. Her work has been exhibited through solo and group exhibitions, which include shows at the South Mountain Environmental Education Center, Tempe Center for the Arts, Eric Fischl Gallery, and the Institute for Desert Humanities in Arizona; at the Greater Denton Arts Council in Texas; at Mark Arts Gallery in Kansas; and at the Lightwell Gallery in Oklahoma. Her work has been generously supported through many opportunities, including the Osher Life-Long Learning Grant and the City of Tempe’s Studio Artist Residency.
