It has been a pleasure to friend @viviencollens This is her quote. This is her time. She is on fire. Walking into her studio you see ample evidence. Being with Vivien is good medicine for this artist.⠀

Making collages is totally freeing bc there are no rules. Says the rebellious. “Where the water flows” 30”x22” on Fabriano paper, unframed. Maybe bc it’s paper? I’m hoping to be a bit more free like this in my paintings. Seeing this reminds me how much I love cadmium yellow deep. It’s going on 1stDibs.com later this week.⠀

27th Anniversary being married to this handsome hunk! I cannot imagine going through this without him.
.
We met on a gazillion acres ranch in the Davis Mountains in West Texas 30 years ago almost to the day. Honestly it was during a total eclipse of the sun and moon after a full day of commercial shooting for a millionaire cowboy running for Governor of Texas. It doesn’t get any bigger than that!
.
Here’s to many more suns and moons by your side Babe!.

This April I found the pot of gold at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts! I had the opportunity to be a fellow there for 3 weeks. I met so many talented artists from all kinds of disciplines and from all over the world. They were super supportive and fun.

Artist residencies are a fundamental cog for production. Suddenly you are faced with only what is truly important to you. And what does that look like? Okay, no more excuses. Go and do it.

For over 3 decades I worked as a graphic designer in various roles as art/creative director in ad agencies and then as a freelancer when I had to figure out how to balance motherhood in the mix. I loved my time as a designer but knew that eventually painting would be my full time endeavor once I could see my way into it. Frankly, a lot of that was building up my self confidence to make the jump. Design, especially typography, is still one of my true loves. .
I have a page over at Society6.com. It allows me to develop some of my ideas into posters and prints.

Is there anything better than cats and art? Meet Felix the Siamese, the love of my life. This was taken when I had a backyard in Harlem 2 years ago and was doing my spray painting through lace pre-work that I do on all of my panels. This panel was 60” x 96” and when I put that large flat panel out in the sun, well, he thought that was his permanent napping station. In between spraying and drying times he spent that entire week stretched out on it. Recently I finished that painting (The Golden Rule) and I am sure there is some Felix fur permanently in the paint. Felix, as they say, crossed the rainbow bridge last year. He is greatly missed. I do have 2 other just as crazy Siamese that fill my heart now but on this International Cat Day I wanted you to meet a great one.

I’m Rebecca Darlington. I live in and love New York City. It’s a toss up if MOMA or the MET are my all time favorite places to be. I make art. I make it from the moment I get dressed until my handsome husband calls me for dinner. (Yes, I am that kind of lucky.) Most days you can find me in my art studio scheming, drawing and painting or scratching one my siamese cats under the chin. I am mostly known as “Ma.” I have 5 grown sons who continue to be an inspiration to me. Those mom days went by really fast. Now I’m on my third or fourth life and this time it’s all about the big picture - what I see.
