Rebekah bogard biography

I was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming where I lived until I was 27 years old.  As a child my parents would take me to work with them every day where I was given a desk along with all the paper, tape, and glue that I wanted.  I thoroughly enjoyed spending my time drawing and making the next big project.  Even at home I spent most of my time creating artwork.  Animals were a natural source of inspiration as we always had plenty of pets on hand.  

Summer vacations were consistently taken in Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole where my parents instilled within me a deep respect, wonder and curiosity for nature.  My father enjoyed fishing and never failed to take me to the most beautiful and wild places throughout the summer months.  This impacted me greatly as my love and awe of nature is an indispensable part of the work I create.

I hated school, but always enjoyed art class.  I excelled in art and have always considered myself an artist.  During my last year of high school, my mother signed me up for an art class at

In recognition of Women’s History Month we are spotlighting artist Rebekah Bogard. Rebekah Bogard is a contemporary American artist working in ceramics. She creates fictional animals in order to explore the narrative of her life and personal history. She is also interested in the concept of gender, and how specific gender roles are assigned to both girls and women throughout their lives. Through her imaginary creatures, Bogard both embraces and reclaims female stereotypes and presents powerful messages relevant to today’s world. She currently lives and works in Reno, Nevada.
