Jewelry artisan, Rebekah Harris left a traditional art education at Parsons School of Design to study in an old-fashioned apprenticeship under Legendary Soho silversmith, Alex Streeter, a pioneer of rock and roll silver jewelry. Her journey into the realms of metalwork expanded when she studied blacksmithing at the Cold Hanworth Forge in the United Kingdom under hammer-wielding, opera-singing blacksmith, Bob Oakes. Whilst at the BABA convention singing songs about broken chastity belts with fiddle playing blacksmiths, she knew she found her niche and a lifetime of metal fusion would follow. In the years to come she would further her alternative education by studying mokume gane and bladesmithing. Hybrid bike sculptor, Josh Hadar, taught her how to drive a welder and to this day she continues to hone her skills by studying one-on-one with the talented craftsmen of the world.

Her pyramid of inspiration is built on a variety of visionary legends from Benvenuto Cellini and William Morris to Nikola Tesla. Many of her designs stem from a love of the ocean and a curiosity for the mysteries of the watery unknown. Flotsam and Jetsam speaks of the spoils cast over board and washed ashore, sculptural narratives whose stories invoke the desperate journeys of abandoned souls that dared to step aboard and sail into the realms of monsters, sudden squalls and shallow shoals.

Some collectors are drawn to the folklore of her work, yet all appreciate its sense of humor.
