    Visual Arts: Painting, Sculpture
    I consider myself a pop artist. My paintings and sculptures usually contain popular cultural references — present and past. My ideas are the best art I make — I work in whatever medium is best suited to realize an idea. My finest creations are the products of collaborations. I paint murals for my community, or with my community. A significant portion of my mural work has involved youth, from elementary to college level, in both the design and painting of the mural. I often use collage in making art — creating visual “mash-ups,” pairing or combining an image from one source with an idea or text from another source. The “Holidaze in MBUniverse,” 1996 to the present, are a limited edition photograph series, based on conceptual variations of American holiday cards. Otherwise, my photos tend to be banal observations of my interesting and often hilarious neighborhood, Ventura Avenue in Ventura, CA. I live Art. It is all about Seeing, Listening, Honesty, Serving, and having a good sense of humor. You have an Idea? Let’s talk about making it happen.

    Visual Arts: Painting
    About the Artist Consistent with her own unorthodox and provocative concepts, LA-Based Artist Rebecca Heinicke is looking to inspire emotional equality through her complex Abstract and Expressionist paintings. Rebecca's creative process involves capturing raw feelings that are integrated within a specific emotion or subject and deconstructing them down to the core values. This process enables her to encapsulate the micro-expressions that construct visual emotions and reconfigure them in such a way that the viewer is able to feel the texture of the emotions and delve deep into a sense of empathy for the unfamiliar. Artist Statement: To truly inspire within art, is to create a point of chaos that connects to the viewer in the same moment it is bringing clarity. In order to build that passion within another person, I deconstruct whichever emotion I am conveying and explore it's singular expressions. Every feeling or subject that I want to expose is assembled and held together by minute particles, essentially, woven in between facets that provide texture. This texture is what makes the painting exceptional; it's the aspect that gives empathy to the viewer. By creating a painting that is of substance, passion, and congruency, I am working to uncover emotional equality between individuals that stand worlds apart." Current Series:  The Human Collection  My latest body of work, The Human Collection, is a carefully curated series of my original paintings, arranged in such a way to reveal the complexities that layer individuals and bring light to the effect of generalizing people based on stereotypes attached to one character trait. Body image, mental health, life traumas, emotional state, all represent a minor piece of what a human is; these unique details are all the world sees instead of the whole picture. I use my work to uncover these layers and display how one factor doesn't define a person in entirety, as well as show the harsh truth of how many masks a person will put on to hide these traits.

    Music: Vocal; Visual Arts: Illustration, Painting
    I am a local artist, musician, mother of four and wife living in the Ventura area since 2005. I approach each work of art as an opportunity to adventure outside the "lines." Sometimes something as simple as the use of a palette knife instead of a brush, using recycled materials as unique embellishments or simply the use of your negative space can take each piece to a new level. I have also been performing as an honorary guest vocalist in the renowned, local award-winning, Rockabilly band Hard Six. You can see me lending my talents as the "June Carter" in their popular renditions of the songs of Johnny Cash at The Roadshow Revival Festival each year and at many of the local venues all year round.
