Born in England and raised in Ontario Rebecca Chaperon went from
drawing on the walls to working primarily in watercolor and acrylic. In
her work you will see reoccurring themes of statuesque architecture,
catholic school children (of which she once was one) the undead and, of
course, sentient robots. Inside these moments she bows down to subtle
experimentation with washes and various application of her media.  She
was schooled at Kwantlen and at Emily Carr.  This is highly narrative
work that entertains ideas of connection/disconnection between beings.
It remains both deliciously dark and tongue-in-cheek.

Here are a few little factoids about me:

-many of the buildings in my pieces are buildings that I feel an
affinity for...some from Vancouver, some from ancient schoolhouse
photos, some from the town I grew up in, St. Catherines Ontario.

-some people ask why robots? I say why not, they are so rich in
metaphor...resembling physically human attributes but expected to be
empty. Which is why I get so much out of the robot characters from
Issac Assimov's stories..they are surprising within the boundaries
given to them, even when they are following those boundaries. All of
their actions though are just a reflection of humanity..it's deep!

-I like to surprise myself when I make art...so often I work on many
different series at the same time...rather than beginning and ending
something in a similar style. I would rather leave something open ended
so I can return to it.  I explore parallel themes at the same time to
hold boredom at bay.
