A Colorado native, Rebecca Hilley, daughter of painter Hal Rice, has been painting most of her life. Rebecca has been greatly influenced by her love of the Rocky Mountain
region. 

Her paintings express a strong sense of free movement and boldness yet are ever so delicate in concept.  Incorporating collage into her work, she often uses various imported papers, such as silk paper, rice paper, or banana pulp paper. Rebecca has developed a distinctive style combining watercolor, pastel and acrylic which creates a subtle translucent effect.

Her work has been enthusiastically received and collected throughout the country and abroad.  Rebecca, with her husband and two daughters make their home in the beautiful region of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
