Rebecca Scheuer is a retired high school counselor and artist living in Lancaster County, PA with her husband, two dogs and Felix the cat. She began her oil painting journey in 2015 after a serious car accident left her with a concussion, hemorrhage behind her right eye, and months spent in a fog with severe double vision. Her visual therapist suggested painting as an exercise in hand/eye coordination. Having never dabbled in anything more than a few craft projects, Rebecca immediately took to painting and devoted herself to her practice. She began taking painting lessons with Bruce Becker at The Warehouse Studios in Reading, PA who helped her hone her style and technique. Despite her challenges, Rebecca has maintained a cheerful, positive outlook on life and her sense of humor is often reflected in her colorful, whimsical paintings. She enjoys painting animals and cocktails, two of her favorite things.

“Painting things that make me smile has given me the opportunity to express myself and share my love of bright colors, nature, and the simple beauty in our everyday surroundings. It took an unfortunate event to jumpstart this journey,
but now I’m hooked.”
