Rebecca was born in 1967 and educated in Victoria, Gozo, Malta.  Self-taught, she took  up painting and sculpting in her teens.

Art critic E.V. Borg describes Rebecca's art as:"….personal, intimate and unique.  It is autobiographical and yet so universal and timeless.  It is essentially an analysis of the psyche, of thought process, of the workings of the mind through the observation and examination of physiognomy or facial expression.  Rebecca analyses the psychology of man with ruthlessness, vigour, thoroughness, shrewdness and intensity.  Her art is unique and vital.  Its spell attracts adventurous explorers to unravel its mysteries, the uncharted regions of the subconscious and surreal."  (Malta This Month, 06. 09. 2002)

"In my works I try to reflect my emotions", she says.  "Many of my works are concerned with demonstrating the unpleasant side of human existence - the ugliness that is all around us but perhaps intentionally hidden from us or by us.  I am not so much concerned with analysing so much as  acknowledging that  this  side of life exists.  'Split-head' (right), for example,  is representative of man's multi-personality, sometimes intentionally hypocritical or else due to illness, such as dementia."

Her first collective exhibition  was in 1987 at the Circolo  Gozitano, in Gozo,  Malta.   This was latter followed by two other exhibitions "Perceptions" (1998) and "In Tandem" (2002).  Both exhibitions being held at the Ministry for Gozo.  Rebecca has taken part in 40 exhibitions in Malta and abroad.

While the subject of her art has been consistent, Rebecca's artistic life may be described as an evolution by transitions between various media.  Her early works (1980's) were models in wax and plaster-of-Paris.  Throughout the eighties she continued experimenting in other media: pencil, ink and oil pastels on paper.  She took up modeling in clay, and concrete in the early nineties.  During this period she also experimented with acrylic on canvas and circa 1995 began sculpting in the local limestone.  Always eager to try new media and techniques when the opportunity arises, during 2001 she broke of for a few months from her work in stone to produce a unique collection of terracotta masks.

Rebecca says that she has found a particular affinity to sculpting in stone which is described by E.V. Borg as "strong, defiant, forceful and personal".  Writing in the Sunday Times of Malta  (17/11/02), E. Fiorentino remarked how one piece in stone, 'Inner Self' (right), and which featured in the 'In-Tandem' exhibition (2002) was particularly aesthetic "with its tight-knit composition".

Rebecca is also a writer of poetry and short stories in the Maltese and Italian languages.  Her works in  Italian  have received awards and recognition in various international competitions.
