Catalyst: Rebecca Pempek ’20

Rebecca Pempek Studio Art ’20 used her Catalyst experience to be an Artist in Residence at the Fish Factory in Iceland.

With support from the Fujita Arts Grant, Rebecca worked on a number of drawings and paintings, including a wall mural in Iceland. She uses her work to reconcile the turbulence caused by our contemporary political climate, which produces tremendous cultural anxiety. Her work explores the movement between fantasy and reality.
