Rebecca Haynes

Rebecca Haynes grew up in Hawai‘i and moved to Seattle in 2017, where she completed her BFA in Interdisciplinary Visual Art from the University of Washington and MFA in Arts Leadership from Seattle University. During her graduate studies, she presented a research paper about implementing storytelling into arts curricula, and in teaching artistry she seeks to center youth voice and individual creativity. Her practice spans traditional and digital mixed media, concentrating on expressive and textural drawings focused on mental health or stylized figures. She enjoys working collaboratively, and believes in harnessing collective and innate storytelling power to forge bridges and new possibilities.
