Rebekah Miles
Painting is artist Rebekah Miles’ medium of choice; she uses handmade ceramic pieces as canvases for her work. “I want to make modern pieces that feel like heirlooms,” says Miles on her online portfolio. She’s also created a series of book jacket paintings inspired by art history, a project that caught the eye of Rodarte, who commissioned her to create a book jacket series. Showcasing her works in separate galleries organized by medium allows Miles to keep her artist website organized.
