WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO? My name is Rebecca Cawthorne, and I am a quad skater and printmaker from Augusta, GA.
DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS. I have always been an artist that loves to move around with mediums, but I recently found my place in printmaking. I found a great bond between my illustration style graphics and traditional inks. You can print on anything.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Rollerskating is my inspiration for art and my passion for movement. I started park/street skating in 2021 and it has been the center of my creative process ever since. I love the sport, the lifestyle and the community.
FUN FACT ABOUT YOU. I enjoy competing in park/street quad (rollerskating) events.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA. My favorite thing about Downtown Augusta is the historic value and being on the river.
WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE? I love to design illustrations of animals in skating gear!
WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS? Make because you have an itch to make. Don’t overthink the feeling. Take what you find inspiring around you and make something of value for yourself.
