Dancing Outdoors: Mixed Media Drawings by Rebecca Zeh

Artist reception will be held on May 9th from 3 to 5 pm.  The public is welcome!

Valley Artisans Market is proud to present Rebecca Zeh’s new mixed media works in our small gallery May 8th through May 31st. Rebecca, an interdisciplinary artist and Saratoga Spring native, is continuing to expand her artistic practice and her growing role in the Capital Region’s vibrant arts community. Rebecca is a 2012 BFA graduate with honors from Pratt Institute. Her work is a testament to a lifelong devotion to art-making, which spans drawing and mixed media and has been showcased in premier venues including Saratoga Arts, the Albany Center Gallery, and the Adirondack Lakes Center for Creative Arts. Her unique aesthetic has earned her features in The Daily Gazette and 518 Profiles Magazine, as well as publications in literary and arts journals like Barzakh Magazine and Stance on Dance. In 2023 she was the recipient of an Honorary Mention Award at the Annual Expressions Juried Art Show at North Country Arts Council in Glens Falls, NY.

“Art has been my lifelong passion, but my work is about more than just my own studio practice,” says Rebecca. “I am deeply committed to the curatorial process and helping local artists find the same platforms and opportunities that have helped me grow.”

In addition to her studio work, Rebecca currently serves as an Assistant Curator in the R Gallery and a Custom Framing Specialist at Arlene’s Artist Materials in Albany.

Rebecca’s creative output is uniquely informed by her parallel life as a dancer. Since the age of six, she has studied improvisational dance under Lili Loveday. Her experiences dancing in natural, outdoor environments serve as a primary inspiration for her mixed-media works, which seek to translate the fluidity and spontaneity of movement into a visual medium.

Operating out of her home studio in Ballston Lake, NY, Rebecca continues to push the boundaries of her interdisciplinary approach, fueled by frequent travels to international museums and galleries with her husband.
