Redgate Studios
As a Cornish woman from the picturesque fishing town of Falmouth in the United Kingdom, Rebecca has always been influenced by mystery and legend. This has been an intrinsic cord that runs throughout her design philosophy and each creation has a story. Starting her career as a textile designer she found that this medium was the perfect conduit for tales told in sensual materials and opulent colours.
Rebecca leads the life of an Artisan and believes her design to be like alchemy. Ingredients are mixed by hand and what is produced is authentic, feminine and timeless.
"Life/work balance is so important and both should be complimentary to encourage a happy environment."
Rebecca lives with her husband Tony, and her four daughters, Sophie, Anna, Gabriella and Isobel on a 200 acre farm in the idyllic location of Margaret River in South Western Australia.
"This place has had such a profound effect on my work. The light here is unique in its crispness, giving clarity to my choice in colours and hues. The flora is quite unlike anywhere else and I think that this has introduced and amplified a style that is particular to my work."
Rebecca works in a large open plan studio which is situated amongst olive trees and wandering animals. This large and peaceful location is where the creating and production takes place.
Rebecca loves to travel and makes regular trips to Europe and Asia for the purpose of research, always bringing back something new to trial and develop in her studio.
