The smallest things are often what connect us as human beings. The calming presence of a sibling or friend, moments of anticipation, tenderness, and personal triumph are realities we share. These paintings are based on memories, both personal and borrowed. They are an attempt to explore a collective human experience. Details and features remain ambiguous, inviting the viewer to seek something of themselves in the work. The figure (human and animal) has provided a generous vehicle for color, form and surface to evolve. Paint and wax are layered, dripped and scraped to create a sense that the subject is still emerging . . . still 'becoming.' b. 1968, Natick, Massachusetts Selected Solo and Two-Person Exhibitions 2012 Studio E Gallery, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 2012 Terzian Galleries, Park City, UT 2011 Whistler Village Art Gallery, Whistler Village, BC (featured artist) 2011 Judy Saslow Gallery, Chicago, IL 2011 Recent Work, McLarry Modern, Santa Fe, NM 2011 Vivre/To Live, West Branch Gallery, Stowe, VT 2010 Innocence Revisited, Judy Saslow Gallery, Chicago, IL 2010 Recent Work, McLarry Modern, Santa Fe, NM 2009 Form and Figure, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2007 Recent Paintings, Landau Gallery, Belmont Hill School, Belmont, MA 2006 Origins, Cushing-Martin Gallery, Stonehill College, Easton, MA 2006 New Paintings, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2006 Elemental Explorations, Nesto Gallery, Milton Academy, Milton, MA 2005 Microscapes, Brodigan Gallery, Groton School, Groton, MA 2005 Works by Rebecca Kinkead, The Great Hall, The Roxbury Latin School, West Roxbury, MA 2005 New work, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2003 Transitional Works, Minnesota State University, Conkling Gallery, Mankato, MN 2003 Dock Series: Recent Paintings, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 2002 Field Series / New Paintings, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2002 Soft, Fresh Art Gallery, Denver, CO Selected Group Exhibitions 2012 Snow, West Branch Gallery, Stowe, VT 2011 Salon Show, Pryor Fine Art, Atlanta, GA 2011 Images from North Mayo, Courthouse Gallery, Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ballycastle, Ireland 2011 Layered Approach, Eisenhauer Gallery, Edgartown, MA 2011 Bountiful, Jules Place, Boston, MA 2011 Textures of Us, Edgewater Gallery, Middlebury, VT 2010 Fresh Air, West Branch Gallery, Stowe, VT 2010 Embody, Eisenhauer Gallery, Edgartown, MA 2010 Pryor Fine Art, Atlanta Georgia 2009 Salon Show, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2009 Float, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2008 Salon Show, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2008 AIDS Benefit show, Barbara Krakow Gallery, Boston, MA 2008 Annual Benefit Auction, Decordova Museum, Lincoln, MA 2008 On Drawing, New Art Center, Newton, MA 2007 Salon Show, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2007 AIDS Benefit show, Barbara Krakow Gallery, Boston, MA 2007 Collector’s Edition, Firehouse Gallery, Burlington, VT 2006 AIDS Benefit show, Barbara Krakow Gallery, Boston, MA 2006 Salon Show, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2005 Salon Show, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA 2005 Images from North Mayo, Courthouse gallery, Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ballycastle, County Mayo, Ireland 2004 Fellowship Exhibition, The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ballycastle, Co.
