Rebecca Rebouché is an American painter, writer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur known for her decade-long collaboration with international retailer Anthropologie and her large-scale paintings of allegorical family trees.

Based in her native South Louisiana, Rebouché’s work is fed by the rich artistic history of New Orleans and the myths and mysteries of the city’s surrounding forests and waterways. The symbols that arise—a white summer dress reaching through deep swamp water, a whale pinned in by cypress trunks, ice cream melting on the moon—are our collective symbols. Rebouché unearths them like flames she can see burning beneath the soil. John James Audubon meets Frida Kahlo in a Chagall dreamscape, her work is here to tell the story of us that we didn’t know needed telling.

Her surreal naturalistic paintings paired with her intuitive journaling have drawn not only collectors but enthusiasts to her work. She has practiced a rigorous painting schedule and absolute devotion to her craft as a full-time artist since 2008, releasing a new collection of paintings each year; and an established record of sold-out shows since 2014. Her paintings are now in over 500 private collections around the world with a growing waitlist of commissions.

Ever curious, Rebouché regularly collaborates with fellow artisans and travels the world to research new projects. With a fierce interest in translating the mystery of the human spirit, down to every sumptuous, sensory detail, her work finds life in various mediums, from printed wallpaper murals to nearly 7-foot paintings of fish and birds, from a one-of-a-kind perfume to her own short film.

Displaying a devotion to the daily rituals that help her create, Rebouché’s unending vision has manifested a model of artful living celebrated in The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Anthology Magazine, Madame Air France Magazine and The Great Discontent.
