The story
Rebecca Cunningham is a ceramic artist, former art teacher and mother of four who moved to Maine in 2020. She lives in an off-grid home in the woods at the edge of Farmington, where color, texture and a sense of whimsy shape her creative practice. She earned her BFA in Painting/Printmaking from Kansas City Art Institute and continued her studies in art education at the University of West Florida and the University of Nebraska–Kearney. Her early training in color and composition now finds a new expression in three-dimensional clay forms. Largely self-taught in ceramics, Rebecca makes both functional pottery and figurative sculpture. She works on two-dimensional pieces in her home studio and creates ceramics at the Upper Room Studio in Farmington. Her recent explorations include wood firing, rocket kilns and raku.
