Rebecca van Gennip (b.2001) is a Canadian oil painter and art instructor based in Goodwood, Ontario. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours degree at Queen’s University, with a Major in Visual Art and a Minor in Art History. Rebecca has sat on the Board of Directors for Union Gallery in Kingston, exhibited at many locations such as the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, the Georgina Studio Tour, Preston Gallery, and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. She has multiple paintings in the Art Gallery of Georgina’s permanent collection. Although currently nurturing an independent artist chapter, she had recently been professionally represented in downtown Toronto.
She specializes in interior scenes and still-life that explores the journey of moving forward with grief. Her newest ongoing series explores these themes in relation to past generational love and loss, vulnerability, and emotional resilience. Dutch seventeenth-century painters inform the connection to her Dutch heritage and the visual style she chooses to convey in her work. Their emotionally charged colour palettes and domestic interiors inspire her to reinvent them in contemporary ways.
