A California native, Rebecca Noelle’s love of homeland and nature has led her to plein air, or outdoor painting. She spends much of her time on location capturing the beaches, gardens, mountains, and architecture of San Diego. Rebecca believes that plein air paintings are not only artistic expressions of moments in time but also important historical records of local landscapes that may change or even disappear. She works in oil paint on panels, using both the brush and palette knife.
Rebecca is also a teacher and has spent many happy years teaching art to San Diego students in grades K-6. In 2017, she was named Volunteer of the Year at the San Diego Rescue Mission for her work facilitating art classes and exhibitions for adults in recovery. Currently, Rebecca teaches a weekly plein air painting class in historic Balboa Park, sharing the joy of landscape painting with students of all ages.
