OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Rebekah Riggs Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
Hi! My name is Rebekah.
I’m an art educator who is inspired by color and everything fun.
I’ve always been fascinated with stars, bright colors, and art that may be considered childlike to some.
But nothing makes me happier than women having fun without worrying what others think, so it empowers me to make art that radiates happiness and fun.

More Exhibits
The Victoria Walsh Exhibit
My work is texture inspired. Shadows, light play and layers add to the depth of my fiber art and practice. This piece was made during a recent residency at The Art and History Museums in Maitland FL, right before leaving my hometown and moving to Knoxville TN.
The Ashley Garner Exhibit
My submission was inspired by all the many ways over time I, like all women, just had to figure it out. As a result of figuring it out, I have built a successful custom painting and furniture restoration business (Nest) as well as a writing career, writing for The Dollywood Company, Knoxville Mom's, Her View From Home, and Today.com.
The Angelique Adams Exhibit
I am an engineer with over 25 years of experience in manufacturing, operations, strategy, and innovation most recently serving as the Chief Innovation Officer at Aperam, a multi-billion/yr global manufacturer of stainless steel and specialty alloys. I went from being laughed at when I told professors I wanted to pursue a Ph.D., to leading hundreds of scientists around the world.
