Rebecca Newnham is a sculptor with a particular interest in glass. During her time as a student at the Royal College of Art, Rebecca developed glass as a faceted skin to sculpture which champions the characteristics of plants, the experience of place, and our understanding of organic systems. Whilst the sculpture considers the physical and scientific, it acknowledges the spiritual and magical side of our lives.
A trustee of the Royal Society of Sculptors, Rebecca organises art events, and is Arts Patron at Talbot Health School; she has the Art Scholarship named after her and mentors their art scholars. She has work in significant private collections, including three sculptural installations floating in different lakes in North Yorkshire
