Rebekah Griffith
Rebekah Griffith is a Gunnison-based painter whose technical mastery is rooted in a lifelong pursuit of capturing the complex proportions and kinetic energy of the equine form. A BFA graduate from Western State University, Griffith’s process is defined by a sophisticated "artist-first" approach that balances traditional Western subjects with a vibrant, contemporary flair. Her work is characterized by a deliberate layering of oil and mixed media, utilizing textured impasto and "street-aesthetic" pops of color to visualize the rhythmic stillness of the Colorado high plains. By merging her academic foundation with a modern, expressive application of light and shadow, Griffith creates a substantial presence on the canvas that functions as both a botanical study of the landscape and a powerful narrative on the enduring spirit of the West. A recurring award-winner in the Colorado art scene, her compositions offer a fresh, energetic take on figurative realism that resonates with seasoned collectors and local communities alike.
