Hi, my name is Rebecca Taubman-Schnitzer. I am a mid-level painter based in Dallas, Texas. Much of my subject matter includes a modern take on iconic symbols of the 60s and 70s, as well as Japanese design references such as porcelain vases, tansus, or a fresh-flower Tokanoma. For me, the bigger the canvas the better, as the larger surface area helps to visually expand a story and even compartmentalize a painting within a painting, which happens quite by chance! If the colors are hopping off and around the canvas, and your eyes are playing tricks on you, then in my mind, I did something right. I like to play around with the effects of side x side light and dark colors to produce shadows and perspective. After you see a full picture of one of my paintings, please zoom in as far as your computer will allow because the details offer an entirely different experience.

My fine arts background includes gallery, museum, and auction house work both in San Francisco where I grew up, and in Dallas, Texas where I call home. I am the proud mom to three grown, very creative sons! Although a devoted painter now, my previously earned degrees in art history, interior design, early childhood disorders, and educational therapy, provide an occasional opportunity to offer art therapy among the menu choices available to my students and their families.
