MrsRebecca Beardmore

BVA MFA (Alta)

Rebecca Beardmore completed her MFA in the department of Art and Design at the University of Alberta, a Centre for Excellence in Printmaking.

An accomplished print-based artist, Rebecca is particularly invested in the material properties that print affords to the photographic image. Her research examines the relationship between the photographic and the reprographic, focusing on the material means by which photographic artworks communicate and exist in the world. Through an innovative and experimental approach to materials and techniques, Beardmore seeks to expand the rhetoric around image perception and disrupt the image as an object of representation – evoking tensions between reading, seeing and perception.

An accomplished print artist, Beardmore is at the forefront of practice and innovation in her field. She recently delivered and published a paper on the intersection of printmaking and photography in contemporary art at IMPACT 10, International printmaking conference in Santander, Spain. The artist is a previous winner, has been an invited judge in Australia’s most prestigious print prize, The Fremantle Print Award. She exhibits internationally and is represented by Artereal Gallery, Sydney.
