About
Rebecca Hind is an artist working predominantly with paint. Her large-scale watercolours push the technical boundaries of her medium in unexpected ways, offering a visual and contemplative intensity. This aesthetic depth was exemplified in a series of lunar paintings made for a solo exhibition at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, in 2007. This was sponsored by Arts Council England South East and by Winsor and Newton. Her current project examines fire in its various manifestations.
Hind has exhibited her work internationally, her most recent group exhibition being in Nairobi in 2008. Other exhibitions include the Royal College of Art, A Space, Southampton, Wolfson College, Oxford and the Morley Gallery, London.
In addition to exhibiting, Hind was artist in residence at the Banqueting House, London in 2002, and affiliated artist with both Sacred Land and the Alliance of Religions and Conservation for six years. This led to her writing three books, the most recent of which, Sacred Journeys, was published this year. She has regularly appeared on television and radio discussing art in relation to spirituality.
Hind chairs Contemporary Art in Dorchester Abbey, CADA, a curatorial project that allows her expertise in art and religion to be put into practice, and the Kevin Slingsby Prize for Funnel Vision at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University. In addition, she has been teaching painting and drawing to adults for many years, currently at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art.
