Welcome to FineArtbyRebecca.com, the website of artist Rebecca Cannon McCluskey.

An artist of remarkable ability even as a child, Rebecca grew up on the Eastern Seaboard and has been drawing since she could hold a pencil.  As she honed her skills, it seemed only natural that she would attend Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, where she majored in Fine Art and Illustration.  After college, Rebecca turned from book study to field study, to gain a more intimate perspective on anything that walked, crawled, swam, or flew.  To this day, you’re still more likely to find her spending her free time in the wilds studying animals than in a gallery discussing her work.

As a photo-realist, Ms. McCluskey specializes not only in predatory wildlife (wolves, mountain lions, birds of prey, etc), but also pets, people, seascapes, and just about any subject that is challenging to render.  She works in several media—chalk, charcoal, India ink, watercolor, acrylic, etc.—but prefers the finest grades of colored pencil because they allow the artist to add precious details that seem to make her subjects leap from the art board.

Rebecca's first set of limited-edition prints, Eyes of the Wilderness, is a study of not just the perfect timber wolf, but moreover its very essence.  Eyes of the Wilderness seems to gaze right into the heart of the observer, who apparently has caught the wolf unawares.

Rebecca’s online store realizes her dream of being able to provide the consumer with fine art at a fraction of the cost of selling original pieces.  “I think everyone should be able to display fine pieces in their homes,” says Rebecca, “without having to pay exorbitant prices.”  To preserve the integrity of her work, Ms. McCluskey carefully supervises the printing process.  Accordingly, every print purchased at Rebecca’s online store is individually signed and numbered by the artist herself, authenticating her attention to and control over the quality of the edition.  Rebecca has also limited the number of the edition to preserve its value for the art collector.

With Rebecca McCluskey’s work readily available to Internet users the world over, you can expect to see it burgeon with new gallery pieces, as well as new limited-edition prints for release.  So be sure not just to become a collector of her work, but also to add her website to your “favorites” list so that you can monitor its progress.

We hope you enjoy your visit!
