Rebecca Messier

Rebecca Messier was born in Seattle and raised in the mountains of Telluride, Colorado. Over the course of her young adult life, she spent time in Boulder, Los Angeles, and ultimately London - where she studied hair at Vidal Sassoon. After returning to Telluride, running her salon for 15 years, and having a child, Rebecca decided to turn her focus back on the arts. Rebecca’s current works - large-scale ceramic wall installations and thread on paper - run with a theme of repetition in nature. For her process, she uses muted and organic tones and materials such as clay, paper, cold wax, and watercolor. Both in practice and in presentation, Rebecca’s goal is to create a slow, rhythmic meditation.
