Rebecca Guay -"Rebecca Guay's artwork shows a distinct influence from the great Renaissance masters, revamped with a fresh dosage of contemporary cleanliness and edge. Depicting the lush, effervescent world of nymphs, gods and goddesses, these [images] capture an otherworldly realm rife with a softened kind of carnality." -Juxtapoz. During her over 20 years of painting professionally, Rebecca Leveille-Guay has build a formidable reputation in contemporary and pop culture art. The work focuses on emotionally charged themes that echo elements of the symbolists and orientalist's, as well as undertones of pre-raphaelites with a contemporary surreal twist.
