Rebecca King's paintings are in private collections down the Eastern Seaboard, from Virginia to Florida and as far west as Montana.  King studied drawing, oil and fresco painting with nation's preeminent draftsmen and fresco painter Benjamin Long IV in North Carolina at the end of the 20th Century.  As a child of the 1980's with the rise of the technological revolution, King chose early in life to pursue a respect for the Art of the many centuries.  Through mentor ship with Long, King established a bridge of understanding back to the foundational principals that drove the Art of the Renaissance.  Enjoying a renewed interest from the public for art that is informed by the past, King's influences are wide. Besides Long, the art of Rembrandt, Titan, Monet, Corot, and Constable all influence King's oil technique.  Building on budding talent, a determined work ethic and a dedication to a lifetime endeavor of making better art, King works in a private studio in Black Mountain, North Carolina and regularly travels across the world to paint landscapes and study the world's great masterpieces.  In addition, King is a member of the faculty at the Fine Arts League of the Carolina's, a school dedicated to educating artist in the classical tradition.  King's oil paintings capture the emotive quality of her subjects, some peaceful, sometimes dynamic, with fluid brushwork and a sensitivity to color relationships.
