Rebecca Barra is a multi-media artist who creates art in a wide variety of mediums that reflect her soul. Upon talking to her you would never expect the amount of pain she’s endured and conquered. Her art and humor shine as bright as her heart.  

 

Her formative years were filled with love and laughter. Her mom and grandparents raised her under the same roof. Her grandfather was an artist, professional antique restorer, and a huge inspiration. Her current series Translating For Trees is a direct reflection of her life growing up surrounded by wood and the generations of wood working ancestors pulsing through her veins. Now she is printing her Translating For Trees Series on clothing you can see here.

​

Eventually she ended up living in a homeless shelter with her mom for 8 months during her senior year in high school. Living in the shelter was so life- changing that it inspired her to work in a homeless shelter for children for 9 years. She healed herself and countless youth with art, nature walks and an authentic, understanding heart.

 

She once again was forever changed by a horrific tragedy five years ago. Her mother went missing and then her body was found a year later. Her mom was a veteran with PTSD. Because of this experience Rebecca has big dreams to help people with art. She wants to share what she’s learned while healing in Colorado. She is now providing a Pareidolia Therapeutic Art Class in Denver, Colorado click here for more details

 

Since pursuing being a professional artist, she’s had several gallery shows in New York and Denver and her work was published in a best-selling book. She painted hundreds of portraits on autographed baseballs for Steiner Sports and made custom portraits for celebrities.

“I believe that trees have souls and record information while they are growing. I also believe trees, nature and spirits have something to say and I act as a creative channel to help tell their story.“ —Rebecca Barra
