Rebecca Dowman-Ngapo is a Taranaki born, Ōtorohanga based visual artist specializing in watercolour. You can find Rebecca on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/somewhere.nz/ , Instagram: @rebecca.dowman.ngapo_art or running creative workshops and events in her community via the Ōtorohanga Creative Conduit: https://www.facebook.com/OtorohangaCreativeConduit/
Rebecca's work is indicative of contemporary New Zealand culture, reflecting aspects of daily life; drawing inspiration from local people/places visited, family narratives and moments in time.
While Rebecca is interested in many themes, there is a special place in her heart for portraiture.
Creating personal artworks, special gifts, lasting legacies and family treasures is a big reason why I offer original commissioned watercolour artworks.
In 2020 Rebecca had the privilege of painting a portrait of June, Lady Hillary, which now resides in the Auckland Museum. (Pictured)
