Journey’s Eye Studio will host artist Rebecca Aldred for the June 2019 First Thursday Art Walk.

For as long as I can remember I have been an observer of everything – people, animals, nature- all kinds of things.  I always drew what I saw. I had a love for drawing early on, and all through school. I used to sketch during class all around the margins of my notes. I’ve always been drawn to art. And I have always had a desire to learn to paint. So after raising four kids and retiring from the school system, I began taking lessons.

I have had many workshops with wonderful artists, but the one teacher and mentor who really helped me SEE and develop into an artist was Gayle Levee’. She teaches in Nashville and she has helped me find my passion. I can’t begin to tell u how her influence has developed and help me improve everyday. I just want to paint- all the time. That’s how passionate I am. It brings me great peace and joy. As I continue to learn and grow I can see a difference in my paintings. I hope you find a passion that brings u as much joy as painting brings me.
