"I have a need to create. It's not just what I do. It's who I am." ~ Rebecca Zook

Zook knew as a child she was going to be an artist and never strayed very far from that path. Her earliest memories are of spending hours at a time sitting at a table with paper and crayons drawing every animal imaginable. Taking drawing and sculpture classes all through school, Rebecca was fortunate to attend a high school that offered Commercial Art as an elective. This altered her path from fine art to Graphic Design. She received a full academic scholarship to Southern Methodist University in Dallas where she majored in Advertising Art, gaining her BFA degree. She minored in fine art - taking photography, painting, printmaking and ceramics courses. She also took computer programming as an elective, unaware of how much this was going to help her years down the road when the World Wide Web came into the mainstream.

Rebecca has been working as a Graphic Artist, Illustrator and Web Designer for the last 20 years. She turned her attention back to fine art in 2003, though still works a full-time day job. Rebecca has created art in many media, but painting in acrylics is her love and primary focus. She has found her design background to be a major asset in her fine art paintings, lending strength to her work though its principles.
